Vitamin D supplementation didn't affect my depression. Going for walks to get more sunlight made it worse.

I understand that not everything works for everyone and I wish those around me, including my doctor, did as well so they'd stop blaming me when their "cure" doesn't work on me.

I thought the walk was most beneficial in nature, but of course in a forest you don't get much sun exposure.

Would you mind sharing in what ways going for walks made it worse for you?

I found going for walks during lockdown to be depressing. Always the same few streets (yes I'd try various directions but it doesn't take long to have walked down every street within 30 minutes of you). My mom lives in the suburbs. She goes for walks but they are hardly uplifting "same walk I've made 400 times before" type of thing. I'd even say walking makes more feel more alone then when I'm at home alone because at least at home I can watch TV/movies/play game and write comments to strangers on HN.
