I've struggled with depression (sometimes severe and long lasting) my entire life. 8 months ago, I lost my job. 3 months ago, I gave up looking for a new one, and started sinking into depression again. 2 months ago, I decided to take my life in a new direction, and move towards becoming an actual, migrating, hunter/gatherer (It's beats the heck out of being a homeless bum). 3 weeks ago, I lost my place to live, and am now staying in the backyard of a good friend who has a heavily wooded, large lot. Being outside in the sunlight, combined with the physical exertion of getting ready, has cleared me of this former plague of my life. My friends all comment that I seem like a different person, and in truth, I think I really am. (note: becoming a hunter/gatherer for real might not work for you, but I'm sure just getting outside and doing stuff probably will!) I can personally vouch for this working – for me.
