I can usually tell anymore when I am about to get depressed because I suddenly start saying to myself, "Just leave me alone" over the most innocent of requests. Some of the things Beth mentioned too. Exercise is great; I find going to the lake (any body of water if the sun is shining) and walking and just observing little tiny flowers in the grass or the treetops in light and shadow. And the quiet is wonderful; somehow when I go out like that to a park or a lake, my mind stops all the chatter and when I come home I feel 100% better. Of course, now I'm on medication too, so I've coped better this winter than I have for a long time. Can't really add anything to what Beth said tho - she describes it well, that is how it is with me too. But she doesn't much like going outside and it's my relief valve. Oh, one other thing that works is digging in the ground. Sounds funny, I know, but if I go outside and dig in the garden, pull weeds, or plant something that really helps. Sounds like you've already put into practice some effective strategies. Good luck keeping your spirits up; and as you said, God does help too. At least, I think so.
