Depression &a anxiety -Diet and lifestyle changes?

Question

I battle with depression and anxiety so badly it's seemed to have taken over my life for the past to years. I became an alcoholic I am now getting sober. I know for the grade depression I have i should be taking medication, but I never seem to remember to take it and I don't want to rely on a chemical! I would love to hear some ways that help you combat your anxiety or depression naturally.
I am trying to cut out processed foods (I don't really eat fast food) 
And maybe getting outside even if just for the air a few minutes a day!

Do any of you guys have anything that's really positively helped you I'm really looking to turn my life around and become the mother I once was.

Please no negative judging comments thank you.

Answer

When I'm struggling (not all the time), I do a number of things.

I take fish oil 2 capsules per meal. I work out 3-4 times a week for 20 min. or more. I choose only whole grains rather than more refined grains. That cuts most processed foods. I make sure I'm sleeping regular hours and enough hours, but not too many. I try to get out and participate in events even though it can be difficult.

Answer

Exercise is always what helped me with depression. In the beginning may be hard but it works the longer you stick with it! Also hiking always helps. There are different vitamin deficiencies that are linked with depression you could Google it and try to see if your diet is getting enough :) little things can make a big difference

Answer

I've suffered from depression and anxiety. I got a cat. The responsibility of having to take of a living creature who complained if he doesn't get fed on time has been very helpful to me, that and taking medication. Also, forcing yourself to go outside and get some sunshine is good too.

Answer

I don't eat processed foods, limit my caffeine and refined sugar, and limit my dairy and gluten. It honestly has helped soooo much! 
I also exercise daily.
