Thank you so much for your uplifting message and suggestions. I am trying to exercise now to combat the depression. I do try to get outside during the day in the sunshine to take the doggy for a walk and get some fresh air. I have been ill for some time now and it has been extremely frustrating to me. I try to cope , but I am so down sometimes , crying winds up being a release. I feel my body is crying out for something it needs but I just do not know what it is. My hunch is that it is mineral related, and since I am taking minerals in many forms and trying everything conceivable to try to help my body, eventually I hope to find the solution. Thank you for your kindess.
