Hey Sem, sorry to hear about that
. I know it is easy to say especially when you are tired but physical exercise is amazing for depression. Gardening is great but just fast walking or riding are great first steps. Shoveling poop works!!!
It improves your brain circulation (actually keeps blood vessels young/helps new ones grow by producing something called VEGF) , produces endorphins (your own body's version of morphine!!!) and it should help you sleep.
I think a lot of us sharks have some form of hardship - illness/depression/ sick and autistic kids/$ (- my son is autistic and awesome - but it has been tough) and this thread provides friendship and camaraderie and free therapy from EACHOTHER that helps us cope.
I have an idea - lets all post happy pics - garden, chooks, funny animal pics kids - whatever, and when we feel down we can go look at the happy pics. If you think it is a good idea should we add it on this thread, or start a Sharks happy pics thread just for pics? What do you think Sem/Nat????
Or maybe Nat could add them to the first page of this thread so they would be easy to find??
