I think I realize what is going on with me. I thought my work was causing me depression so I changed my job (bad to much worse). Then I was worried about my home and making payments and keeping my home. Then it's being afraid of losing my girlfriend (or keeping relationships-which I can't seem to do). Then it goes back to my childhood fear of being homeless. Then it's the constant crisis in the U.S. and the world-The dot com bust, 9-11, the war, global warming, the housing crisis (that word again). Then feelings of regret for not taking a certain job 2 years ago. Then it's my health. You get the picture.
So I wake up today and start thinking about a bunch of things I have to do just today and I start feeling morning anxiety which really makes me just want to sleep and not get up. It is really, really paralyzing. In short, my mind seems to create one problem, then replace it with another. Although many of these are real issues I suffer greatly. Any thoughts on this? Depression sucks!!!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
