Can you get into natural light, sunlight at all - maybe your garden or by a window for an hour a day? Also for fresh air. A walk ideally daily for half an hour would do you good.
I definitely need to! Our weather is so awful here, although spring is trying to make a come back now. Definitely too cold for a garden. Wind chill Temps were 7 F on Monday and today was 50. 😆 so surprisingly (or not) I feel really good today.

Some natural light and fresh air is I believe essential daily, it puts everything right somehow. Taking vitamin D and other supplements can really help, along with fresh fruits and vegs, living foods. Our physical health is so connected to our mental wellbeing.

I am glad you are feeling good today. Where do you live?

Anyone else find vitamin D has improved depression and wellbeing?

Well it's worked wonders for me, since I feel a strength and vitality returning big time. I had not realised I stay indoors too much, so I must have lacked sunlight.

This is only my view, I have not had specific tests.
I take one vitamin D tablet a day, not any megadoses. It took about a month before I realised I felt better.
Wow thank you MaryM I wondered why I feel happier about myself, when our daily news is tring to make us feel sadder, (makes me look like a sadist)
it is the Vitamin D3+K+K2 supplements I got into since the start of 2020, and I was thinking it was something else.
There is a suggested amount of Vitamin D to take per body weight, it is about 5,000 IU for average man.
There are calculators and more on internet, just how reliable the information is, would be hard to say.

Certainly I feel much better than a year ago. Now I ensure all my family take vitamin D daily.

Yes, I take 10,000 a day and sit in the sun as much as possible.

My skin has improved considerably along with my mood.

There is a severe correlation with lack of Vit D and depression.

It's great you have good results.
I would advise checking the amount you are taking perhaps as it may be rather a lot? Above certain levels it will be toxic.

Yes that is true, I do test 2x a year and I am typically on the higher end, although not ever have I tested over the recommended levels.

I live in the North East it is a very cloudy region.
