Just dance. The biggest uplifter of spirits any time!

But I know what you mean - having been the victim of an anti-depressant medicine (not because I was depressed but I'm insomniac and doctors in the UK are hell-bent on prescribing anything other than soporifics). Ones motivation and will-power go all too easily.

In fact, I'll go to the extent of saying that Amitryptalene made me depressed. I had to stop it. The lassitude was too much.

I agree with many here - exercise that isn't a chore does help to lift depression for physiological reasons. Hence dance. I love dancing - not the formal ballroom stuff but latin line dancing, zumba, medau, free form to music that really grips you. It keeps you very fit into the bargain.
