Spike,
my findings are as follows:
- any amount of booze makes me much more likely to be severely depressed over the next 2-3 days
- exercise doesn't really help me. I cycle to work 3-4 times a week [this is in London so you have to go fast :-) ] but I find it doesn't really help much
- oversleeping makes my depression worse
- cutting out coffee hasn't made any difference
- smoking weed [I never inhaled, honest] really knocks me down for 3-4 days

Cheers and good luck with your quest...
pete.
