Carol, I can relate. I also think the etiology question is not easily answered--interaction between depression and subsequent inactivity, etc. It is so hard to break the cycle.
I always thing a multipronged approach is best. Some of the suggestions above might help. Also, take "baby steps" to do a little activity. And, a new question--how is your sleep? Perhaps there is something not right in your sleep patterns, ie a sleep disorder. For me, it was apnea. I was always extremely sleepy, fatigued and assumed it was a symptom of the depression, but it was not that simple. Once the apnea was treated, I was more awake, had a more energy (still not enough, but at least I was awake).
