My depression is part seasonal, too. I find it helps for me to eat lunch at my desk while working, then take my break to have a walk around in the sunshine.Dishes? You can come over and do mine!
I think the lack of sunlight in winter triggers a funk for me, that and I hate the cold weather.
I went to a lecture at the museum last night which seemed to get my mind off things. I am planning to go to the beach this weekend too.
Lot's of pearls of wisdom folks have posted here.

A playful, affectionate kitty is working wonders for me right now.
I have found that self over-medicating and passing out does the trick. Anti-depressants don't work for me, so Id rather just sleep and not be aware of the world around me.
Whoa! That double-breasted jacket! I gotta have one!I am a living testament to the value of an occasional sleep cure. Once I had one that lasted three days (with intermittent bathroom breaks and glasses of water). Barring that, I like to go out and raise some hell, either alone or with similarly-inclined friends.
If it's on the lighter end, several hours on YouTube have been known to work wonders, especially things like this :biggrin1:
:tongue:
If I'm ever in your neck of the woods (SFO?), and we were to meet, I'd be glad to. After a nice romantic dinner, of course...

Did your psychotherapy cure your depression?Blogging helped me alot when I had an onslaught of depression a few years ago. When it wouldn't go away I finally sought professional help. He helped me recognize certain things in my life and all the while, no medication. I refused to take antidepressants. I wanted to be able to feel all that I was going through and not just medicate and be about my day. My reasoning was, so that if or when it happened again I would know what it was. Actually I did take a sleeping pill to help me stay asleep through the night since I was also suffering with anxiety.
The other thing I used to do was take a 90 minute trip every weekend to the beach. I'd sit there for hours with my thoughts, write a little, snack, hop in the car and drive to another beach and repeat. Once in a while I'd even buy a pack of cigarettes.
Hope you get to feeling better. :smile:

Did your psychotherapy cure your depression?
Yes it did. There were a couple of things from childhood that I carried into adulthood that had to do with conditioning. I got past that and realized my triggers for depression. Also my biggest fear that was giving me the anxiety 24 hours a day, came on full swing and that was cancer. I feared that my biopsies would come out cancerous some day soon even though I was constantly told that in all likelihood the medical condition I suffered from didn't always turn out cancerous. Sure enough it did. I learned alot in therapy and I got through that phase. Do I get the blues now and then? Sure. But I've been through worse things and in a day or two I'm back on track. :smile:
