There is a great group in the US called USA Fit (usafit.com) that helps people walk or run marathons. Don’t worry! You can just do the group without doing the marathon, but I did a ten mile walk once! This is a great way to stay healthy and meet lots of new people.

Depression is isolating- but just doing one thing that makes you get outside the house can cut your depression symptoms in half in one day. No kidding. My motto is: I want to go to bed feeling better than when I got up.
That motto really helps on the tough days. This is why I wrote the book Get it Done When You’re Depressed. I wanted to help others get out and end that depression!
The secret to USA Fit or any organization is to participate with a friend or meet new friends when you get there. Depression feeds of the solitary and is chased away by the social and active!

it would be great if you could have an “email to friend” button on your blog–you have such wonderful thinks to say, I always want to forward them. Thanks for being there.
