I agree with all of the above advice. Getting outside into the sunshine does wonders for me, I find that the winters are hard because we stay inside a lot. You need to get out walking and talking to people, it lifts your spirits. Accepting P.D. is a good thing too and learning all you can about it so that you can recognize what is working and what is not. I know I have changed a lot since dxs 5 years ago and I'm sure all of my friends and family notice how I have a new attitude about everything. I often wonder if they think I am crazy too but this is my jouney and I will do it my way.
As much as I hate taking all the meds sometimes it is necessary for some of us with P.D. to take the antidepressants, it is amazing how they can lift you out of a deep, dark place and make everything seem much brighter and more hopeful. Take comfort in knowing you are not alone Annaleise, all of here are walking the same path.
