Unique, Exercise is considered the single best mood elevator there is. It helps me a lot, six days a week. Its good to do something aerobic, such as fast walking, biking or swimming. I have a book called UNDOING DEPRESSION, by Richard O'Connor, Ph.D Its the best thing I have read on depression. The author is a therapist yet one who has totally experienced depression himself. Its very interesting and offers concrete steps, such as cognitive suggestions and writing or journaling, to get better. I personally also find that it helps to be able to connect with what I'm feeling, like if I cry to know why I'm crying or what about. Sometimes when one is depressed its just crying as sort of an outlet but its not really connected at a deeper level. I hope you start to find some solutions to your problem, and I'm glad you are reaching out here.
