re: Depression is kicking my arse

Hobbies, exercise and church are what help keep me going. Wildlife photography and cycling (motor and pedal) are a healthy combination. Hibernating is a really bad habit. Get some sun to avoid SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and find some way to keep the blood circulating. I also meet other outdoor people by joining groups and engaging with interesting people.
I have long enjoyed my church groups and this helps me stay involved and focused. Following up on these discussions by reading the Bible keeps focus on the Word later.
