Have you gotten (SAD) this winter? Seasonial depression?!


Question: Yes I get "SAD" in the fall. The shorter the days the worse it gets. I have lessened the problem by using special uv lights that really seem to help. I also try to spend more time outside in the fall but that's not always practical. It can get very cold and nasty here. This was probably one of my somewhat worse years because I forgot to get my "happy' lights for the first 3 or 4 weeks. It affects everything in my life. Fortunately my wife remembered and saved the day with new happy lights. It's a rotten thing to go through but it helps to have the UV, (happy) lights and someone who cares. I hope you find a way to cope!
