I have been keeping the depression aat bay recently. I thought I would share some things that work for me. I hope others will do the same and share some tactics that work in our fight of depression...

Working out. anything physical seems to really help me. The more commited I am about keeping excercise in my routine, the better I feel.

Routines in general really help. I find that if I get on a schedule and try to stick to it, I am much better. I aim to eat at the same times each day, go to bed about the same time and get plenty of sleep. I use a sleep aide if necessary to make sure I stay with my routine.

Meds. I have grown to respect the meds and not fool around with them, ie skip doses, lapse... meds are too serious to keep very close control of your intake.

I'll post more as I identify them. I hope everyone is healthy and happy!
