It's SAD season. How are you coping?
originally posted by: virraszto
It's that time again when I'm knee deep in SAD.
Seasonal Affective Disorder.
The lack of sunlight really sends me into hibernation mode.
Dark, and gloomy days means I'm fighting with all my might
to stay awake through out the day.
Some people experience milder symptoms, but for some
it can be debilitating.
I've got three 10,000 lux SAD light boxes in one 20x20 room
that I leave on all day and that's in addition to 3 regular
lamps.
Most people who have SAD are deficient in Vit D, so I take that
along with magnesium.
I don't take antidepression meds for SAD. I've tried them before
and they don't work for me.
So far, this year, I'm not having much success with the light boxes and/or
Vit D/magnesium.
For people like me, it's a long way until spring gets here.
How are you coping with your SAD?
