For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've been off work this week, changed my holiday dates cos an audit date change at work, and so alot I had planned didn't happen cos of other people not being available etc, so I;ve been moping around the house a bit, but to cheer myself up I have been watching episodes of The Big Valley on You Tube right fron the pilot in 1965 when Heath first arrives, it;s great because I have never known his story, nor much about the early episodes, as i cannot remember them that much, by 1969/70 when it was cancelled I was a huge fan.
I think moping, and trying to pick my self up at a later point. Is the best idea, but I really want to feel better just for a little while. I'm meant to be going to my nephew's birthday party tonight, and I don't want everyone to know that I feel dreadful. And I'm someone who can't hide their feelings well.

•Research has found that regular physical activity appears as effective as psychotherapy for treating mild to moderate depression. Therapists also report that patients who exercise regularly simply feel better and are less likely to overeat or abuse alcohol and drugs.
•Exercise can reduce anxiety - many studies have come to this conclusion. People who exercise report feeling less stressed or nervous. Even five minutes of aerobic exercise (exercise which requires oxygen, such as a step class, swimming, walking) can stimulate anti-anxiety effects.
•Physical exercise helps to counteract the withdrawal, inactivity and feelings of hopelessness that characterize depression. Studies show that both aerobic and anaerobic exercise (exercise which does not require oxygen, such as weightlifting) have anti-depressive effects.
•Moods such as tension, fatigue, anger and vigor are all positively affected by exercise.
•Exercising can improve the way you perceive your physical condition, athletic abilities and body image. Enhanced self-esteem is another benefit.
•Last, but not least, exercise brings you into contact with other people in a non-clinical, positive environment. For the length of your walk or workout or aqua-fit class, you engage with people who share your interest in that activity.
Endorphins are chemicals produced in the brain, which bind to neuro-receptors to give relief from pain. Discovered in 1975, endorphins are believed to: relieve pain; enhance the immune system; reduce stress; and delay the aging process. Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, sending these chemicals throughout the body. Endorphin release varies from person to person; some people will feel an endorphin rush, or second wind, after jogging for 10 minutes. Others will jog for half an hour before their second wind kicks in. You don't have to exercise vigorously to stimulate endorphin release: me

My hubby and I had been saving up for a house and got all our deposit and mortgage etc. But he thinks it won't work out with the house and it'll be repossessed etc.
I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to be concerned, and we'll not go ahead with purchasing for these reasons.
But I'd just wished he'd have mentioned it earlier, rather than waiting till signing for it.
