* therapy visits when i can get them in
* being on a regular schedule of waking up/going to bed
* at least half an hour of some form of exercise per day, outside preferably.
* * seasonal depression especially can kick your ass hard, so if you live in a northern area like me where you get no sunlight in the wintry months take vitamin d supplements or get a happy lamp.
* a good support system of friends, family, and professionals to support me
and last but not least:
* venlafaxine (effexor) er, 150mg/day.
moral of the story is don't be afraid to take meds or go get help. sometimes you don't even realize just how down in the ditch you are until you get up and out for the first time in a long time.
