Thank you Therese,
I can feel it coming on and have used some of your previous advice to try and keep it under control..

This is all so exhausting..
Thank you for being out there with help and advice..thank you for the heads up. *sigh*
……….. today is my Birthday…………
Awesome. The most depressing day of the year.
happy birthday! Make it a different day than described in the article-no rule says it has to be depressing.
Did i miss something, no mention of exercise? Major gaffe. Out of all those suggestions it is arguably the most important.If you are not goinmg to a gym or classes for exercises or combine w/same: Jump rope, get on small trampoline,Walk/bike go up hills/stairs/run whatever your body can do, do it. Proven anti-depressant. You may still need combined some prescribed measures,you may not be an athlete but we cannot ignore this well-documented prevention/treatment.
This day was not depressing for me as my daughter celebrated her 43rd birthday and my grandson was 10 yrs old on the 24th. This could never be depressing for me.
