All of those things to do are great. I walk my dog because he has to be walked, but now that I see the benefit I get, I'd do it anyway. Depressed or not. But somedays I really have to push myself. That is where having the dog truely helps ME.

Interact with animals. The dog loves to be groomed. He looks up at me with these big sleepy eyes and may lick my arm/hand when I stop combing his fur. To me that is a big thank you, please do more. He is soft and warm and you know he likes it.

Do something for someone else to make yourself feel better. Unless you already 'over do' for others. And you know who you are.

Support person or people are so important to me.

Great list carebirdy.
