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 smile

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
