And on it goes

I'm usually not a supporter of meds but have you thought about talking to a Dr? It might help you sleep a little more and get through the really rough times.

Do you like to read? Lose yourself in a book when that feeling hits. Give me a list of things that sound like fun but you've never tried. You like to cook?

Host a dinner party! Invite friends/family, tell them the subject of H is off limits. Then have a great time. You could make dinner a theme with multiple courses and have so much fun. Planning would also help to take your mind off of feeling low.

Do some charity work. This will make you feel appreciated & needed as well as helping others. Could you volunteer at a soup kitchen?

You said you are a teacher? Have you ever thought about helping to coach a sport? Exercise really is a natural mood lifter.
