11. I do find my exercycle handy for pedalling off some steam...

And I write. You might try keeping a journal about how you feel. I did that after I was grief stricken with the death of a beloved sister in law. I cried every day. I talked to a friend who had gone through that (I surmised it was a lost lover with him) and he said "You will get better." And that comforted me, helped me. Also, I wrote in a grief journal every day. I really poured it out there.

So many artists have gone through periods of deep depression. Van Gogh painted "Starry Night" in getting through his depression.

Hope you get to the other side of your depression soon. But it takes time. You will get to a place where you can accept it.

Much love,

Jeanette (CTyankee)
