Hi DD, I am so sorry that you're going through such a depressive time. Last winter I fell into a severe depression combined with anxiety...I re-read the book Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn and tried my best to practice mindfulness (even though it seemed pointless to do so at the time, the practice ultimately helped). I made sure I took a walk (even if just around a single block) every day. I kept up with my household chores. I worked hard with my spirituality. Eventually I found a medical professional who prescribed medication that broke the miserable depression enough so I felt a real improvement.

I'm having a bit of a struggle today (exhausted, down)...I seem to be adversely affected by the weather (which is rainy)...but overall, I'm having more pleasurable days than miserable ones.
