I think that brisk walking is quite well known to be beneficial. However, this seems to contradict your answer to 1. If you really get tired and (especially) lightheaded doing a short walk that sounds pretty alarming to me and very much like an underlying medical problem rather than a symptom of depression.

Your daily meditation sounds great. Do you find that it helps?

When I walk the dog I walk very slowly and he sniffs around a lot in one place so typically I'm just standing there. He never stays out longer than 15min or so. So I'm not getting a ton of light or exercise but I am getting small amounts. I am tired after walking him as well and have to lay down afterwards.
