when i first joined this forum, i was really excited that i found a support group for my new found woe. who knew it would lead to this.
i have always assumed that i got "holiday blues" because of childhood issues (no need to go into that here), and have always been depressed in winter. i figured i just started early (late october) and got out of it late (feb). the most noticeable or telling element for me, is that when it starts staying lighter longer and warming up, i have a significant elevation in mood and motivation. but now i think i know the answer. if i have sad, then i can try the light!! this is very encouraging to me. (i swear i'm weepy right now).
off to find a light, and thank you all for sharing.
