[net.suicide] 2 ideas to combat depression

Sometimes there's postings here of the sort "What can I do to help
someone who's all depressed and contemplating suicide?".  Here's a couple
of ideas - things which can help make you feel better about yourself:

exercise - Any kind of regular exercise will do, like jogging, bike
riding, or probably most any sport.  I don't know why this combats
depression, but it does.

flowers -  Sounds silly, but buy yourself some flowers once in a while.
It's better not to wait for people to do nice things for you and to give
yourself a treat now and then.
