I didn't have time to read all the wonderful supportive comments but when I'm feeling blue I get outside for a long walk no matter how ugly it is outside and know matter how much I don't feel like it. It's hard with work schedules and children, etc. but try and make time for the fresh air, especially important this time of year. Also make time for yourself. Drink more tea, get into a good book, start a journal for your thoughts. Take medication if it works for you and listen to your body.<br />Also, look at the amazing response to this post and smile, listen to your kids giggle and oh yea, I find doing something like making pancakes or dessert for dinner good for the body and mind too (okay maybe not so much for the body, but definitely the mind:)<br />Jxjoaniehttp://ninimakes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171472706505057697.post-70433158146546270342011-01-12T17:00:38.215+00:002011-01-12T17:00:38.215+00:00Hey Locket - I was an idiot and marked the whole o...Hey Locket - I was an idiot and marked the whole of Google Reader as 'Read' and completely missed this post!

Have a cyber hug (((((Lucy))))). I think many more of us have 'been there' than perhaps let on. Depression is so utterly debilitating - nobody who hasn't experienced it can know just how 'disabled' one is when the black dog bites. I know you have lots of lovely friends, but if you ever want to chat via email or phone, you know where I am. Take care of you. :) xxKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171472706505057697.post-67819857129953935672011-01-06T11:21:40.810+00:002011-01-06T11:21:40.810+00:00Hi Lucy ....sending sunshine hugs from Oz.

I've had it myself in the past and it is awful. I'm glad you've decided to return to blogging and am cheering you on as I know it must be hard.

Yes, I deal with depression and anxiety and I have tried many times to go off my meds for a lot of stupid reasons like money and pride and etc. Please, when you take your daily prozac (as I do) just think of crumbly old Kate in Oregon, taking hers and thinking she shouldn't have to...but, what the hell, we don't want to have to cut our ear off or something, do we?
