I'm in a funk too lately. I'm on day two of waiting until 5pm to shower because I just can't be bothered..

I find that when I stand by a window or door, no matter what my mood, it lifts at LEAST a little bit with the light/brightness (and I live in the upper Midwest and this helps even in the dead of winter for me).

Also, getting a dose of anything that brings a smile to my face (a funny episode of my favorite TV show on DVD), a hug from my kids, a pet on my dog's head that makes her tail wag, a wave from my goofball neighbor)....anything....these little things help me along. When I'm depressed and I look at "the big picture," tackling that seems impossible, but if I take in the little things and appreciate them, I get some hope back. Good luck to you! -Hope
