I'm pretty much miserable 24/7 and all I do is watch TV, Sports or Porn and play video games.

Something must be working cuz I'm still kicking.

Sorry for your loss, btw.

I've found drinking doesn't help in the long run, you will remember why you were depressed in the first place and have a hangover the next day.

I normally go down to the Panthers team store and spend $42 on a bumper sticker or window cling.

Or, go volunteer somewhere. I'm too self centered to do it, but I've heard from others it makes you feel better about things.

I always immerse myself in music, as if I'm conducting the soundtrack to my misery.

The benefit is once you start moving through the stages of grief you can change the music to fit your mood. I couple that with intense physical exertion which helps release toxins. As corny as it may sound, I imagine I'm sweating out the pain and greif. For me that's playing the drums, but you can run, play football, or just walk, whatever makes most sense to you.

I'm really sorry about your loss

It depends on how long it's been going on. If just a few days of being blue, I'll try to do some stuff with the family, retail therapy, completing some projects always gives me sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Helping others always gets me out of my box too.

But if it's something that's been going on for a while. I'll get some blood work done. I have Graves Disease & it's in remission right now. One of the first things I notice when my Graves is getting wacky is depression. A low Vit D will make you feel depressed and with it being winter we don't get much sunshine cause we're all covered up.

I hope you feel better soon Cat!

We are going skiing this weekend and next. I'm hoping that will help though he was suppose to go skiing with us last weekend but instead we were at his funeral (we had to change the dates so we could go to his funeral).

You guys gave me some good ideas, exercise is one I think will definitely help. I'm gonna stay away from the drinking for the most part because that just makes it worst. I don't feel like cleaning my house but I HATE having a dirty house and my house right now is a disaster. I think I might hire it out the next two weeks.

Hire the cleaning crew and before they show up have an epic food fight. Bonus points if it's still going on when they arrive.
