Working out does release endorphines that do make you feel better. I should take this advice as well.

Sometimes she gives me too much space so I know she's up to something (actually this is one of the best times of my life even if she's not up to anything because it's something to focus on).  |
I know alot of guys that go through this very same thing. It's kind of like being stuck in a thought pattern, when it's a negative thought pattern it just takes over everything, like drop of dye in a bucket of water.
I don't know anyone who's been helped by anti-depressants. One of my friends gets anxiety w/ it and he takes Adivan when he has really bad days, but not as a daily dose (as docs reccomend), only when he's having a really bad day.
Booze is a depressant for some people and it's addictive, you don't want to add a drinking habit on top of anything, it will only make things worse. Some people self medicate with weed. It's not legal but I don't know anyone who's smoked themselves to death.
Honestly, since you can recognise that it's happening, I think you're already on the right path. The best advice is to just recognise what's happening and then let it run it's course. If you meet a chick you really dig let her know up front when you're having a good day that sometimes you have low days and when that happens you need your space, then when you're in a bad way let her know that it's one of those days. Some chicks will get it, some chicks won't, but you've got a better chance of them understanding if you've discussed it beforehand.
