Thanks. I pretty much found that out today. I did a job, then relaxed and did something I enjoyed for a bit without just zonking out completly, then did another little job. Normally I seem to put pressure on myself to do everything perfectly NOW, which really doesn't help! I also seem to get low at the same times each day, so if do some exercise just before it hits I can stave it off slightly. It's an odd thing this depression isn't it, I can't even think about going to work at the moment - like you said you have to deal with the next moment and hour only. I wish I was the kind of person that could sleep all day and feel fine, but the less I do the crappier I feel, however tired I am. I guess I've just got to find a happy medium. Oh and I can eat dairy free chocolate and soya ice cream now, so that really helps. I'm probably going to end up twice the size I am now - but for the short term it's fantastic!!
