i'm just coming out of a depression. when i was really depressed, i just got so tired being in bed and lethargic all the time, i got pissed off actually, so i went jogging. do some physical exercise. jumping jacks in your room. run in place. get your whole body going.

wat was it that that got you so depressed? me. it was the change from college to real world. i'm getting better now. i mean if there was a situation....gettting depressed is just a process. it's part of the process. i also think for me that it was all the issues about my childhood just came out.

do you have bipolar? though, you sound like the depression just got to you. then again your taking lithium....

unless it's biological (which means you have to take medicine...but it's not working with you): physical exercise and acknowledging the sadness and allowing feelings to come up.. that's wat got me on the road back to life.

if you start to feel hopeless, it's ok. just let it go thru your body. that's wat i did. also, i just lied in bed and let any feeling come up without acting on them.

start digging. digging means analyzing yourself. look for causes from your past. i read in some book that some lady became an "achaelogist of her psyche"; i tend to do that alot. it's kind of fun; getting the shit out of your unconscious and throwing it out by dealing with it.

i know all this shit b'c i had panic attacks for 16 years; did the therapist thing.
