So, I went to my doc a bunch of years ago because I was depressed. The first thing she asked me (after - "do you need a tissue?") was "are you exercising? I wanted her to prescribe me something so badly and said yes, when in fact, regular exercise had kind of fallen off my radar (I figured, I usually exercise, but just not lately, so...). I filled the prescription, and was on the pills for almost 2 years. Finally, feeling pretty strong and happy, I decided to take myself off and see what happened. I happened to be exercising regularly at that time, and was just fine after my body adjusted. Since then, I really notice a *big* difference when I stop exercising. After 2 weeks max of non-exercise, I feel myself falling right back into my depression. I now consider exercise my medicine. I absolutely have to do it and can't afford to make excuses about it!
So, to make a long story short, regular exercise, while difficult to get into sometimes, is my best advice if you're feeling blue. >>I'm gonna ask here because, damnit, I know some of you people. :) >> >>Plus I hear smart people get depressed a lot... >> >>Anyway... are there any really good solutions for depression?

I don't think I'm hormonally imballanced or anything, I >>just get fed up occasionally... >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165797 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
