I agree with nanna8. You have to force yourself to get out. vitamin D and some exercise will definitely help. Maybe get a fitbit or other step tracker and set a small goal.

Take a small part of the day to do something that uses your brain, whether drawing, stitching, music or languages. Staring at the tv all day can be depressing.

Chin up, spring is around the corner and we may hopefully start getting out more.

Molly you must force yourself out because when you go out it makes you feel better in your mind. No other reason. Even just a walk round the block in the rain. That is one of the reasons so many people get a dog- it is a good excuse to go out because the dog needs exercise. If you just stay home you can get more and more down and feel that you don’t want to do anything, it is a vicious circle. Really you have to trust me on this, I have seen it so many times.

I’m awake all night, can’t sleep or settle. I’m like a zombie all day and just sit around watching the TV. Husband said I should get out but there is nowhere to go.
