I totally agree. I also think that trying to get out everyday for some fresh air is good also. Physical exercise gives me an appetite so I have to eat well if I run 3 x's a week (40 mins-1hr runs) I feel so much more mentally alert too and get the natural high that I didn;t when on Ad's.

Yes I am prone to bouts of mild depression and have noticed that the better I eat (loads of fruit and veg) the happier I feel and the more energy I have. Great tip stressedsanta. Glad to hear you are feeling better
