Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Thanks to you all for your advice. I've read, and been told, that exercise will lift my mood. I bought an exercise bike, and managed to do 10 mins everyday for about 2 weeks. But then it just made me feel ill. I am a physical wreck and don't know how to get better. I tried yoga for a couple of weeks, but this just drained me. Any exercise I do, it ultimately makes me very physically ill. I always feel like I have flu, my sinuses are continually blocked, I have endometriosis and suffer with headaches (No wonder I'm depressed :-() Anyone experience anything similar, or have any ideas? I just feel that if I could get better physically, I would feel so much better emotionally, and be able to do more and live my life

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...
though...im not sure why yoga would drain you.
Hope you see the doc about it or just take it real slow with walking. I think that a walk can't hurt a person unless it's down the middle of a freeway or in a burning building.
rubyblue, do start out slow with walking and work your way up.
