There is no simple or easy answer. And no one can tell you "I know how you feel" because we all feel different. So...

1. Get medical help. There is a lot to be said and done with the right doctor and therapist

2. Believe or not: WALK 20 minutes a day

3. GOTO 1

You need to feel better, but that will only happens if you take action towards it. And it begins with medical help.



As a lifelong cyclist, both competitively, and transportation oriented, I still try to find time for #2. Sometimes just walking around, no matter where you are, gives you a different perspective about things. When I'm angry, depressed, what have you, the first thing I do is just put on my running shoes and walk for an hour. I used to try to walk home or to work once a week instead of biking or public transit, just for the experience. It's definitely saved me from myself more than once.
