this year i'm doing really well. I won't list off the reasons why but, I feel that it's definitely linked to the way that I changed my lifestyle during this period of time.
that's interesting that you mentioned gray skies. When I was watching the sunset yesterday, I was looking at the sky and how gray it was. I also remembered a time when I felt like you, and looking at the gray sky felt depressing. Yesterday, the sky looked beautiful to me, like a beautiful moonstone. I'm not sure why my perception has changed so much.
edit : oh I saw that you're looking for advice so I'll list some things.
Vitamin D supplement, magnesium oxide supplement, occasional vitamin B12 supplement, generally making sure I'm getting all the nutrients I need. exposing myself to light as soon as I wake up, spending as much time in the sun as possible, exercising sufficiently so that I'm tired, watching the sunset, limiting any stimulating substances such as caffeine or weed past the middle of the day, limiting Screen Time or any blue light sources three hours before bedtime, going to bed at a regular time every night.
