I moved to a hotter place in the southern hemisphere, where even in winter the sunshine blazes almost every day.
Before that in the UK, as another poster suggests, I made sure to get out for a walk in the sunshine every day in the early afternoon. Get some sun on my face every single day.
- specproc 4y agoAye, moving somewhere brighter -- also from the UK -- completely dealt with it for me. Getting a dog also helps a lot. I'm required by a sacred and ancient inter-species oath to be out of the house for a minimum amount of time every day. Totally get that these two solutions may not be practical for OP, but it's helped me a load. Standard mental health stuff also applies. Any form of exercise and keeping an eye on alcohol/whatever poison intake will help.
- JimDabell 4y agoSame here. I emigrated from the UK to a tropical country. It made a big difference to my personal well-being. I left behind all the routine coughs and colds I’d get. Before, I’d struggle with fitness because I would pick up running in the spring, then drop it this time of year when the clocks change and lose all forward momentum. It’s just a miserable feeling, travelling to work in the cold, wet, dark mornings, then travelling home at the end of the day in the cold, wet, dark evenings for months on end.
