Same. Doing any of these (exercise, trying to find a job that's intrinsically more motivating, etc.) would somehow work, for a limited time, but not consistently. And if I stopped doing any of them, I'd go back to exactly where I was before. Dealing with procrastination and self-hate related to it had been a constant for me for the past 20 years. I consulted a therapist for many months (which I also hoped would help with this) and she confirmed that I should seek out medication. I don't want to promote any specific company, but I had a really good experience with one of the newest online medical startups (check reddit for recommendations). I was able to make an appointment, talk to a doctor twice in two days, and get my prescription and medication within 48 hours of signing up... I'm lucky to be in the US right now (I'm not a citizen, just working here legally). Out of pocket (i.e. without any insurance) it cost me roughly speaking $250 all in all which is extremely reasonable...
