Celebrating with you, that you already know that you feel better after you get into the sun early every day...and that you actually want to achieve this! that is a really good start in itself!
i know from firsthand experience how better my days are, when i get up early and go outside to soak up the morning sun.
i hear that you are depressed and feeling pain about not having friends to be with.
is that because they live away from you (hence being on phone all day) or that you havent found a way to meet new people where you live? i have moved five times in last two years so i know how hard it is to create a circle of friends. i moved into social housing a month ago and because it is long term, i have been going to different places to see where i fit in eg free drum circle at the beach, local choir, men's/women's shed, yoga class, free library events, volunteering etc
what is it that you like doing?
@PizzaMondo love the idea to make a game out of going outside...with a challenge to find an unusual object. i so agree.... i have challenged myself to get up and watch sunrise every day (i just moved to the beach) and i succeed 5 or 6 out of 7 days...and i dont beat myself up if i am late or do something else instead.
