Is it kinder in here?

Been checking in from time to time...

It might be me, but it seems like the last few days have been a little kinder and gentler in the Depression Community. I hope this is true, because that would mean that people are feeling better, and some of the people with bad intentions and mean spirits are acting better or gone.

Keep it up!

Well, because of things that have transpired in the last few weeks, yes things seem to have gotten back to normal. Oldies can once again set back and listen to others. It is their turn. Too much anger, lashing out, trying to explain actions and life excuses. It has gone on before and will be again. Lessons learn and move on. Too many good people here with needless attacks. Doesn't get any one any where in the end.

I think more people realize they arent the only ones feeling the way they do. Knowing someone is out there to help is a big comfort. I know myself when i get really depressed I feel alone. Then I come on here and i feel better knowing i do have friends maybe thats part of the positive vibes from here.

I think depressed people are the kindest of all. They always can find empathy for others suffering. (That's ME anyway.)

    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...
