I just caught this thread, os of course, I just had to put in my $.02 worth. Simply getting yourself to move helps. This is an old cure, going back to Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy (written a couple of centuries ago. It doesn't have to be much, but walking around a bit helps a lot. One thing that's helped me through bad patches is to not only do some small thing (a bit of dishwashing, etc( but to write it down. ot an elaborate journal or anything, just a sheet of notebook paper will do. I find that I forget that I've accomplished anything, until I look at the paper and see that, yes, I did get something done yesterday.
And of course, I'll fire up an official purebred midwest @$#%-reduction candle in a few minutes when I get home from work.
