[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 211853"] These are GREAT questions and I'm going to give it more thought. Surely, it might have something to do with neurotransmitters. This is why, although it seems counterintintuitive, as best as you are able, it is a good idea to get in some gentle exercise and to get in a little sun. We do know that exercise releases endorphins and that the sun gives us Vitamin D and perhaps other benefits. Too much exercise, too soon, is not good either. Exhaustion/fatigue can also lead to depression. It's really hard to do the right thing when we are in a depressed state, but pushing ourselves to [B]just do a little something[/B]...10 minutes or so (whatever might be appropriate for each individual) can lead to a feeling of accomplishment and physical and psychological benefit. Just that little push, might be the beginning of the end to a downward spiral. [/QUOTE]
