Hello Jerry,
Thanks for this post. I have suffered from depression for the majority of my life and so many times I wake up, like you say, feeling like absolute hell. So many times I let it get the best of me and will just sit feeling empty and sulk rather than try to find my way out. So many times in the past, also turning to alcohol to try to escape the pain, with nothing but dire consequences as a result. And though I know some routine, some exercise, etc will help I let myself remain defeated and broken down.

I will do my best to recall this post the next morning I wake up feeling like hell. And try to use it as inspiration to break the cycle.

Will follow, and look forward to future posts.
Feel free to do the same.

Thanks again!
