Raceka....

I'm brand new here, ( waiting for my post to be approved) But wanted to say I know exactly what you are going thru!

Most days for me lately are just coming to the computer or laying in bed dozing most of the time. BUT....I have been battling with my depression on my own for several years now with no meds and no professional help other than what I find on the net.

I have found when I am like that I FORCE myself to at least walk one block and then come in. In my mind I'm proud of myself as technically I walked TWO blocks...one there and one back. The next time I do another block and I'm up to four. Yes it's hard to do that. But I try to remember how I felt AFTER I walked that block or two. I get fresh air, I'm forced to brush my hair at least, and my mood lifts a bit more. Even if you do this once or twice a week...you may be surprised how it motivates you to continue!!

And in regard to the commercial question....I've turned off the TV for the most part and if I'm really bored, I just watch a DVD or something. No commercials....the holidays are going to be tuff for me this year and I've already started my own spirial.

But try the one block, twice a week and see if you can challange yourself to more!
