Thanks to all above who defended the position of those of us who find bed the safest place to be and find it so difficult to move or have physical activity of any kind. Those who are able to "Just do it anyway" are truly blessed and fortunate and, apparently, feel different in their depressive states. There are different forms of depression, esp. in the older diagnostic criteria. Those who do not have to stay in bed to avoid the waves of doom and hopelessness that knock one down in any case are truly blessed and are hopefully grateful. billieJ
