Just one of those days (part2)
Okay….that was definitely a depressing post! Yes, I fight depression….have been fighting this battle since I was 28. It may be organic….could be hormonal….could be learned behavior from my Mom. Whatever the cause, it is absolutely horrible to go through. Part of the problem is that I work from home and only leave the house once or twice a week. I’m a social person and this just kills me. Hubby talks with me…some…and the kids talk with me..some….but, its just not the same as having girlfriends to do things with. When we first moved here two months ago, I told myself that I was going to go out and meet people. But, its so easy to just fall into the same ole comfortable routine.
The solutions seems easy….find reasons for leaving the house! So, this Sunday, I will drag my butt and Hubby’s butt out of bed, get the kids dressed, and we’ll start going to church again. Also, I think I’ll join that health club we visited when we first moved here. Yes, I will have to drive about 25 minutes to get there, but it will be worth it. And, I’ll join the PTA for both girl’s schools. And…..maybe I’ll start walking around the neighborhood in the evenings.
Okay….so, now I feel better!

Now you’re talking…all those are good things to do. Hope you will get yourself moving to help the depression. Keep your mind and body busy and active.
Best of luck,

I agree with Judy- those all sound like productive, pro-active solutions to feeling down. It’s true that physical activity can help depression; its important for your mind and body. Especially come winter, exercise can keep you from slumping!

Just getting out of the house, into the sunlight, for long walk will help. ((HUGS))

I know what I mean. I moved to Central Florida about 2 years ago and only have one friend that I didn’t meet through my fiance (he’s lived here all his life). I met her through Publix, where I worked for about a year. Now that I have my own business, I don’t really meet many people. I can also relate to you with the depression — I can get easily depressed, especially now that my “comfort food” is no longer an option.
