Mel with that funny little avatar I can't picture you depressed. Well sometimes you just have to ride it out...go with it.....realize its an emotion, a feeling.....if you start to fight it, refusing it...it gets worse it seems

Sometimes nothing makes it better....fake it till you make it sort of..I make sure I always get out of the house..always...even if I feel horrible....it helps for me to be around people even if I don't talk to anyone...now when I was really sick, people drove me crazy...so it depends how you are feeling with your depression. Sometimes its too much imput and I can't take it.

Music sometimes helps, a drive, the ocean or a body of water, the mountains, a park with no people and a quiet day about 70 degrees with a little wind...Animals help..I love them and being around them helps....like going to the animal shelter whatever.

When I am real depressed I cannot read as I can't focus so for me that would be defiantely out.

Mel its kinda up to you to find out what works. I have learned like I said above..sometimes you have to just ride it out...letting go and realize that it has an end and it won't last forever......realize its a feeling..a bad feeling but thats all it is. Getting upset about it creates again more anxiety, and its like a circle you can't get off of.....

Feel better..been there Mel!!
