my husband seems to be spiraling downwards again

13. of course it's ok

opening the blinds in his office would be a good idea. the window faces west, so he should be able to get a bit of light despite our being in a garden level.

my tips for beating depression:

i would suggest sunlight for you, too. even if it is, like you said, just a sunny window.

get out of the house. go to the park, a coffee shop with a book, take yourself to lunch. i know the not wanting to leave the house aspect of depression, but it just gets worse for me if i don't get out.

put on some headphones and crank your favorite music. the effects seem amplified when it's jacked straight into my brain.

indulge yourself. take a bubble bath. have ice cream for dinner once in a while.

good luck to you
