Bad days - everyone has them, so you go for a walk and you turn it around. It's more the intensity that you can control because somethings in life were meant to depress us so it's a matter of how long we're depressed. and then here are some things that you can take some control over how you feel by using some of the strategies listed below: 1. Learn some ways to relax and incorporate them into your daily routine. Even if too much stress and tension aren't the cause of your depression (although they very well might be), they certainly aggravate it. 2. Identify things that are pleasant for you and plan them into your schedule. Research suggests that depressed people have a lack of pleasurable events in their lives and that they actually avoid things that give them pleasure. 3. Increase your activity level. Unfortunately, depressed individuals don't have much energy for exercise, so they tend to remain inactive. Low activity level serves to increase depressed feelings, which then inhibit activity further. To break this cycle, schedule daily exercise that is appropriate for your lifestyle and conditioning level. Take a walk, it's not how fast you walk, it's just the movement - the act of doing it. Remember the turtle and the rabbit. The turtle won the race because he kept on moving at a slow comfortable pace. It's the fact that he finished the race that's important. 4. Identify self-ctitical thoughts and switch to self-rewarding thinking. In other words, get off your back. It is easy to make yourself depressed by being overly harsh and critical. 5. Analyze your social behavior. Many depressed people are lonely and isolated. By learning new social skills and assertive communication, you can often get needed support . 6. Children might avoid the need for presciption antidepressents and if the one of the parents are depressed, getting the parent help can prevent the child from becoming depressed. 7. Listen to soft soothing relaxing music or something with lots of rhythm. Music is to the spirit of mankind like a bandaid is to a cut. 8. Learn way to control your anger ie: a hobby such as karate, tae kwan do, tia chi, yoga or anger management classes. 9. Learn to meditate. Two minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes. 10. Research shows that depressed people tend to be deficient in mostly B vitamins. Take a B vitamin complex and 5000 mcg of sublingual vitamin B12. (Se vitamin therapy in my list) 11. Drink lots of water add a few drops of apple juice or grape juice to the water to give it a sparkle. Research shows that even a little dehydration can cause us to be depressed

Actually not caring is not necessarily a bad thing. Gives you a sense of freedom. Controlled persons are always nervous because deep down turmoil is still hidden. If you are uncontrolled, flowing, alive, then you are not nervous. To control the mind one has to remain cold and frozen that no life energy is allows to move. There is a time and a place for control but is we put it in charge of our lives we end up totally rigid. There is so much more to life than being on top of things.

I get in a "funk" like that sometimes.
What I do to get out of it is take a walk in the forest.
Get away from everything and breathe some fresh air.
