Welcome Ozze! I agree with your intent to help others! However, I also agree that it comes across really strong for those with true depression (and others too, I'm sure...now that I think of it.. ehh now that I think.!)

Not everyone has the ability to move like you suggest. I, myself, am still pricing motorized wheelchairs and doing my best to delay this. It's not working...

Anyway, what you say is true, motion is good for depression.

I am curious though, that if you have been doing this, how has it helped you with Clinical Depression? That is depression that is major, and not something that just popped up recently... but ongoing and not going away.. maybe not forever... it has it's own agenda, regardless of what we might really want.

Does your other dx involve anything like OCD or ADHD/ADD or bipolar perhaps? You don't have to disclose, it's just the curiousity within me.

Again, welcome, really... we all need ppl who can get their breath once in a while, around here. We'll be here when you dip low, too....

PS I don't think calling yourself an "idiot" for trying to kill yourself is a good analysis of the situation. IMHO. Being that low is a symptom of the disorder, and not something we have a lot of control over. I hope you continue your therapy...
