| morningbell is right. Carve out a time for YOURSELF. Pick an area, take some music with you and WALK. At least 30 minutes, more once you get used to it. Daily. Unless it's pouring. No excuses. There is absolutely no substitute for fresh air and exercise. There is no drug replacement that will lift your mood and keep your temper in check more than this. Believe that - my son is autistic, mildly retarded, and at times violent. I can deal with this like nobody's business when I'm steadily walking - every problem I had I could work out - went for a walk - thought it through - without the phone, tv, other daily annoyances to bother me. Read up a little on the benefits of Omega-3s also - fish oils. I have friends who swear by this as something that lifts the depression. It's inexpensive and from what I'm reading there are tons of benefits. Good luck! |
