yes, it does feel that way - and in a way your on spot. The egoic mind which has all of these thoughts rising, negative thoughts, thoughts of being tired, or being depressed and on and on - it is a weight on your true self, holding you down, holding you back from life.
All of the pointers you've gotten from this post have some great merit - eating right, getting up and moving even when your mind is filled with thoughts of not wanting to do anything, moving your body, breathing fresh air - all great.
but also watch your thoughts - thoughts cause feelings - focus your thoughts on positive things - any positive thing you can.
it is warm today
the sun is shining
I can walk
I can see
I can hear
I am breathing
keep adding to the list and replace all of the negative self talk with more positive self talk -
and find a good therapist to talk with.
