Hi melissa.recovering; I'm sorry you're feeling down. For me when I'm feeling depressed I just force myslef to continue with my routine. It's difficult, but I find if I don't the depression becomes worse. I will continue to go to work, exercise, see my horse, get outside in the fresh air etc. It's an awful feeling not getting any joy out of things I normally enjoy, but I just remind myself that the depression will lift. Another treatment that helps me is the use of a SAD lamp. It really makes a difference for me.

I hope you're feeling better soon.
