Dear Susan

I'm sorry you're feeling lousy. You don't post much so I don't know much about you and your habits but, exercise can help with mood alot. Just walking by yourself (or with a good friend to gripe to) can really uplift you. Especially when it becomes a habit. A couple of miles 5X a week can help alot of us (and it can improve heart function too). It really helped me refocus to walk and then run again. It isn't for everyone but I love to do it alone so I can rehash everything going on in my life.

Big hugs to you from New Jersey.
