When a painful injury kept me off my bike for a year just as cancer finished torturing a good friend to death, I discovered a improv comedy workshop. I then joined an improv troupe. The team storytelling and team role playing taught me a lot about finding and contributing to a positive narrative in life. And I take vitamin D. I still do the improv, and have been riding for the last 5 years. I now face new challenges in life including more sickness and suffering by loved ones. But despite this and other downers, the riding and improv and vitamin D have kept me sane and mostly positive. O still have a down day or two, but I no longer feel depression's soul sucking despair as openly as I did during that terrible year, and at other times before.
