Jamie, thanks very much for your encouraging words.

> > Has anyone been inactive for a long time and then once again taken up an active lifestyle? I have not worked for over five years but am now starting a full time job. I am extremely afraid of taking up an 8hr/day job which involves a long commute. For the past few years I have been very depressed, spending over 14 hrs a day in bed. I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle it. Has anyone else experienced this kind of change in lifestyle?

> Mila, go for it. But start slow, keep expectations low, easy does it. Adjusting to a new life takes months, not days or weeks. But being out in the world is healthy for mental ills, much more so than being isolated from society and responsibilities. You may have some tough days, but they will be more bearable than if you stayed home. And you'll accidentally stumble onto a few laughs and new friends you never would have had otherwise. Days will pass much quicker. You'll be stronger. It's healthy, it will help, I've been there exactly. Blessings, jamie.
