Hi Linda Lou,
I was SAD for years,starting around November and carrying on till March,varying on the weather each year,and circumstances,like if I'd managed to get out more etc.
Anyway,do you know what helped me,each time I felt low I ate something raw,like a carrot or 2,or some peppers.
This really helps.If you have a sweet craving it might be the last thing you fancy but it's what the body really needs.

I thought I was helping myself by getting the daylight bulbs but Sunshine mentioned earlier that they have mercury in them
so I'll have to get them replaced at some stage.I have not used them since.
We had 7 straight weeks of rain this "summer"and the summer never really arrived to Dublin anyway,I bet sales of anti-depressants will rocket this year because of that.
