S.A.D. Lights
When I grew up in Massachusetts I used to experience S.A.D., but back then they simply called it "cabin fever" or a variety of other names. I didn't understand what was happening to me, and there certainly was no one that could explain my emotions to me. It just wasn't a known disorder at that time.
All I knew is that I gained weight every winter, became more irritable and depressed. I used to joke about my weight saying that I was like a bear. Bears gain weight before they hibernate for the winter. Then come summer the weight would slowly slide off until I reached my desired weight, then fall and winter came again. Thus beginning the entire process again.
This happened to me when I lived in Colorado, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. It affects my oldest daughter who now lives in North Carolina. But during my time in Florida, it only happens about one month out of the year. Now I recognize what is happening to me because of the research into S.A.D.
I have found one thing that has helped me immensely and that is a Sunlight Bulb
. This Sunlight Bulb imitates the sun. The basic advertising for this light bulb is true. After a couple of days of using this bulb, my energy returned, and my spirits lifted. They also carry Compact Fluorescent Sunlight Bulbs
which I haven't tried yet.
