Hi Meghan, I read in an earlier post some time ago that you said you had (get) seasonal depression. have you ever tried a light box? i am sure I get it and have never been to a dr about it and since the time change already notice a change in my mood. Mostly I get sad and have no energy and want to sleep all the time. Any recommendations that work for you? I really don't want to take antidepressants if I can help it and sounds weird but I really hate going to doctors and talking about this sorta thing. thanks, Jill

Hi Jill,
Yes, my Dr wanted me to get it, but it is not covered by my insurance and cost hundreds of dollars, so I didn't get it. For it to be most effective I would have had to bring it to school, and my then-principal said she wouldn't allow it. My Dr had suggested grow bulbs from a hydroponics place as a possible substitute....I was going to research how effective of a replacement those were, but never got around to it...
I REALLY didn't want to go on medicine either for it. I was afraid it was going to change my personality. But I was amazed that the medicine: 1. Helped a *ton* and 2. I didn't realize how bad I was before until I went on it.
I didn't take any meds during my pregnancy last winter, and so far haven't had to take any this year either, so even if you try the med route, you're not "locked in" or dependent on them forever. That was another one of my fears too.
I'd definitely go in though...it only gets worse from here as the daylight gets shorter.
Let me know fi I can answer any more ?s.
