This is the first time I've done something really productive besides doing a lot of reading or philosophizing or something. I think I started my Tao Te Ching study during one of these spells and found a lot of peace with that. I can NOT sew or make jewelry or anything really "pretty" for that matter. I don't have it in me to turn it into anything that doesn't match what I'm feeling.
Also, this is kind of a "curl up in a ball and cry" depression rather than a "I want to punch someone" depression. When I feel like that, exercise is the only thing I can do to release it really. I know what you're talking about, as far as not being able to concentrate and wanting to punch and throw things. I'm thinking Rhythm Boxing or Kung Fu on your Wii fit or something of that nature. The EA Games Active More Workouts thing we have has a great fast paced sparing station with lots of punches and kicks.

Just keep trying. You'll find an outlet. :)
