Hi TW,

Yep, exercise is important. There's such wonderful advice here on this thread, you guys really do know about health. Ironically, when the depression started I was fitter than I'd ever been in my life. I cycled out to the gym to do a heavy workout 3 times a week, with my baby on the bike. I do miss those days. Since I came off the antidepressant and got cortisol problems, I have been unable to do anything other than light exercise, but at least I can do that much now that I have the opportunity. (My daughter is at school, so I can walk locally at my own pace rather than hers.) I do feel better after a bit of exercise, just can't beat those endorphins.

Inspiration? Well before the insomnia got bad several days ago, I was sticking two fingers up at the church-of-science skeptical dogmatists I'd been talking with, and had discovered Rupert Sheldrake. He's got some interesting ideas. If I can snap out of the fog I'll continue to look into them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
