force yourself to go
To drag yourself somewhere is to go there even though you feel very tired or unwilling.

Did you go to the appointment?
Yes, I dragged myself there even though I felt awful.
I dragged myself to the gym after work, but I nearly fell asleep on the way home.

Not: I dragged myself to go to the gym after work.
Say: I dragged myself to the gym after work.
With a destination, “drag yourself” takes the place directly; don't add “to go”.
