When I get in my depressive bouts I want to sleep all the time, I guess because it's easier to shut down. The only thing that really helped me at the time was running. I'm not a runner, I don't run any more, and I never really liked running - but I struck this bargain with myself: I could feel as bad as I needed for as long as I wanted, as long as I ran this mile loop once a day. It got to the point where I just needed to run every day. I don't know if that's helpful, but in my experience it was that one little obligation that saved me.
