I fully agree with Dr. Emmons number one tip on geting exercise, especially if it is outdoors. I began running long distance when I began my divorce. The "high" from running the first year really helped cleanse my system. But now I dont get that high even after 90 minutes of running. I also tried to expand my social network, which when I am with my friends or other people, helps. I am however going through a strong bout of depression again. I see my kids less now - their father finally moved into his own home, & we share custody. I ended a 1 yr relationship with a man 2 months ago that I still have feelings for & now I have a lot of more empty time on my hands which I REALLY try to fill with friends, outdoor running & biking. but I just cant shake this. I have a fantastic job that I wish I could sink myself into when I am not with kids, friends, outdoors, but I just lack the motivation. I am not sure what to do at this point. I have a fairly healthy diet, fish oil, whole foods, Any advice?
