If you have SAD
« on: December 02, 2007, 08:03:08 PM »
I followed advice someone posted here and got some fluorescent bulbs to replace my incandescent ones. I found a pack of 4 25 watt bulbs for 10 bucks. I tried them, and my room is so bright it's amazing. I feel better already just standing inside it. Here's a picture taken without flash that almost shows how bright it is:

Not really, the scented lavender ones are quite calming.
I couldnt cope with them bright lamps, i would have to use sunglasses. I live in near darkness.

I hate it when it is hot all the time, not that it is around here.
There was a hot summer a few years back. My head was a mess; i dont if it was all the women walking around skantily clad or just the heat.
My god, the heat.

The woods are good too.  If there is any near by near me I think it's still deer season so the woods aren't a good place.  I have the advantage of being a guy and usually walking with a very large dog so nobody bothers me even at one or two in the morning

Vitamin d was mentioned in my life extension foundation magazine as a treatement for seasonal affective disorder.  Take 1000iu/day minimum, because the RDI is pathetically low.  Milk has bad form in it, ergocalciferol, I think, vitamin d2.  That is the plant form, which must be avitated by the liver into vitamin d3.  Use vitamin d3 for treatment.  I like fluorescent colors.

Your room is less crowded than mine, perhaps if it were bigger, it would not look so messy.  I try to ignore it and make do.

Or you could go for long walks on sunny days to get it
