Retail therapy (literally)

[geekchick]

Those of you who are tired of listening to me whine about my SAD-related brokenness will be pleased to hear that I found a decently-priced lightbox and it will be on my doorstep tomorrow, thanks to the magic of Amazon Prime. Now I just hope that it actually works.

What? Like everyone who's tired of reading me post about nothing but school? ;-)

It worked wonders for my son last year. I need to drag it out and buy new bulbs and get it going for this year. I need it too!

Hope it works as well for you as it did him!

Ooh, that's a damn good price on that. *is tempted*

I really believe more people either suffer from SAD, or suffer from seasonal worsening of existing mood disorders (my friend phinnia linked me to this sad, but ultimately good, article re: the latter case), than are willing to admit it -- simply because of this cultural meme where the sufferer herself often sees a mood disorder as some sort of glaring personal failure. Well, no. If you take a look at US winners of Nobel and Pulitzer prizes for literature, just for example, during the 20th century, you get astounding rates of bipolar disorder, suicide, alcoholism, etc. -- in the cases of Anne Sexton and John Berryman, the trifecta.

Go look in the mirror. See that person? She deserves her RDA of light. Repeat, deserves. Light on, apply directly to retina... and enjoy.

Have you also thought about vitamin D supplements? I'm trying them and liking them.

Awesome. Mine's in storage, and this year I could really use it. I'll be interested to hear how yours works for you.
