Hey lady….I think I went through a bout of that last winter. We had a miserable one that lsted forever and Feb and March were the wors of it, so it was like NEVER ENDING.

I read a lot online and really, light helps and eat foods rich in Vitamin D. I have a brighter light in my bathroom that I don’t turn on a lot because it makes the room hot, but I turn it on in the winter because my brain thinks sunshine.

I’m with you on hating winter….

My Mom and I were just chatting about this, and she ordered some Light Therapy bulbs from the internet. I guess in Canada you can only buy the whole Light Therapy Lamp deal for like $200. But, online, from the States, you can order the light bulbs and replace a few bulbs in your house for really cheap.

Just an idea, anyways. Hope you feel better

I feel for you as I have the exact opposite problem…….I am so sick of being stinking hot that I want a least two winters of bitterly cold weather.

Not that I have every lived somewhere where it snows, but oh it looks like fun.

The thought of heaters, woolen duvets and a white Christmas make me green with envy.

I can drool at your autumn and winter photos and your can drool over my year round tropical photos from Indonesia.

I turn my A/C on as low as it goes and it still never gets cold:(

Look on the bright side Angella - atleast you get the chance to go some places. I've never been anywhere since I was 12. My job pays pittance and most Indian don't get to travel that much anyways. Roshan's last blog post..Comments Block & Wordpress Upgrade

Can you imagine living in Alaska where there are white nights and whatever the opposite is called? It’d kill me, I think. In other words, short, winter days affect me, too, though I don’t think to the extent you’ve described. Then, again, I live in the South so I CAN get out without freezing.

Light therapy has been suggested over and over already…but it was my thought, too.

Hang in there–read some good posts @ “someone’s” trip to Mexico .

oh, I am SO with you on this one. I drive around at night with classical music blaring and the heat cranked. I only do it in winter. It makes me feel better for a short time. After the holidays I C.R.A.S.H hard. SAD is a good name for it. Sorry, no tips or tricks, I'm reading your comments trying to find something that might work for me. Good luck. monstergirlee's last blog post..6 Years Ago Today!!!!
