For those of you that suffer depression, how do you get yourself out of a depressive episode?

A holistic approach, sun, nature, fresh juices and food, spring water, exercise, some contact with people either 1-1 or simply being around others in public events or groups, contact with nature and animals, talk therapy, singing and dancing, art, and most importantly, all of the above.
That's what a holistic approach means, to circle ones situation from many aspects.

But one needs to begin slow. A walk outside, going to meet a friend or finding a small purpose to fulfill, helps.
