well... this suggestion typically annoys people... but my suggestion is exercise.

i have a story...

i moved to Australia a while back... and after i'd been there about 6 months i went to see a doctor. i was fairly concerned. i had a fairly persistent hacking cough and my skin was horribly red and inflammed and itchy.

the doctor said i needed to drink more water and moisturize daily. and i was like 'yeah, right'. but the thing is... the doc turned out to be right. i'd moved from a more humid environment and my body was indeed freaking out about the dryness. the water and moisturiser fixed me right up. i feel i was lucky... many other doctors might have given me steroids or...

we don't actually know much... but exercise IS a drug in the sense of it releasing endorphins (body's natural opiates) and stuff. it affects serotonin levels... fairly relaxed exercise is good... a nice walk in the fresh air... but i guess what i'm really getting at is that if you really want a hit of the good stuff then you really need to push yourself. pick some kind of goal and work towards that. running a 5k or whatever.

it can pick you up when you are feeling down. and it can give you an outlet to vent some anger and frustration. i used to do drugs... exercise is my drug now (and coffee). i'm certainly not cured... but i find it helps me at any rate.
