I feel so strange after one particular day...

Mental Health

I'm severely depressed. This is a known fact. Also I'm suicidal, nothing new there. A few days ago I was out for a nature hike, and I visited a part of my hometown I'd never seen before. It was, truth be told, a great day. By the end of it a light drizzle started and we made our way back home. I felt things on that day and especially after that day that I never felt before. It was as if I entered some other dimension, some place I've never been to before. Even now when I think back, it feels completely alien to me. What the hell is happening? That day changed me in some way and I can't explain it. It's both good and bad, both positive and negative. Is this depersonalisation? Psychosis? The hell is going on..

Nature can have a powerful effect on people. A nice day out of your usual setting can kick start serotonin production, which is thought to combat depression.

Understood, but I fear it went the other way..
