I suffer from SAD so. What do you do to bear it easier?

Question

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Answer 1

You need to get those lights that simulate actual sunny light & have that on you in the winter months. I have found that I feel much better with brighter colors on my walls at home helps me not feel so down. I painted my kitchen & front room in a light bright yellow, my bedroom is in a light coral color.

Answer 2

I've tried Lexapro and it did alright, but not quite enough. I think we'll either change drugs or at least up the dose for this year.

They say to sit in front of a bright white light (that mimics sunlight) for an hour a day, but who has time for that!?

I find that a leisurely stroll all by myself when it's sunny outside helps boost my mood.

Good luck to you!

It is a sort of depression or anxiety. Try with some natural serotonine boosters like chocolate, some coffee or nuts. If you still feel down, think about visiting a doctor, they will make an accurate diagnose and probably prescribe you with something that will normalize you.
