HI earthangel, welcome to the forum.Its good you are treating your illness and using a lightbox, Most people on here understand how you feel and are very supportive, I hope you can keep posting and that we can help each other.

Hi Beccaf,

Only you can decide what to do about your condition. If you have any sort of depressive disorder you should get some medical help,if you have been feeling low for no apparent reason then that is a good reason to see your GP to try and establish why.You obviously don't have to have medication if you don't want it.

You can hire SAD lamps to see if they work for you.
