Hi, I've noticed that my mental health takes a massive nosedive in the autumn and winter months. It's taken me years to realise but this year it has suddenly dawned on me. Spring and summer months I can function as normal. My GP has suggested a daylight lamp. Does anyone use one and do you think it makes a difference? Can anybody recommend a particular product?
I was given a salt lam which i have going all day in my edroom I have noticed a difference t night tome thisis very relaxing and calming
They sell them at JoAnn’s fabrics ( of all places) for around $40. It is a good way to try them out before investing in a more expensive one. My friend swears by it. I found it to be annoying. It is certainty worth a try! My friend can’t stop thanking me.
Thank you everyone! It's been happening for years but I've only just made the connection. Will definitely try a lamp. Thank you!
i myself have a sunbox brand it works very well for me 30 min a day while i journal read or listen to music is enough to keep the worst of the depression away. you do need to change the lightbulbs every one to two years
light does help. esp sunlight on the face. apparently depression lamps work for a while. youre dead on with seasonal depression disorder. very common. worst for me in the fall. i thought since ive been off work it would improve but it hasnt. staying warm helps me.
