    Running.

    And no, i’m not kidding. I knew one who got the choice his therapist : take medication or start running. He took the advised solution and found running really works. A co-worker started running a few years back and later admitted the feelings of depression went away.

      i don’t run, but i walk a lot. it definitely helps. i went cold turkey on my antidepressants two weeks ago because my doctor is incompetent and thought that was what triggered my mania (it wasn’t, i just got a new computer). i tried explaining myself to him but he just said (in his limited english) “YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN”
