sex. well. normally i really like sex (married) but i have ppd right now and i just haven't been interested.
i also try to set small goals during the day. the dishes. a load of laundry. baby toys picked up. nothing big but at least *something* so i can feel accomplished in some small way.

I do the walks sometimes too. My problem with walking is that it makes me very tired but doesn't improve my mood that much. The sunshine probably helps.
I live on the Gulf Coast of the US, so it is a mild climate. The biggest problem is the unpredictable rains. I would like to live in Arizona or New Mexico, but I will probably never get the opportunity.
