Hi Sylvie! 🙂
Thank you for your kind message. And don't worry about your English - it's great! I love Quebec very much (especially the Eastern Townships and the Gaspé region), and can speak a bit of French. It's a lovely language.
How did your meeting with the psychiatrist go?
I'm sorry you are also experiencing difficulties with a sleeping disorder, and with mornings. Mornings are the worst for me too. Yes, the very overcast, gloomy, and cold weather really doesn't help indeed. I feel like hibernating through the fall/winter!
I've been trying the lightbox and it helps a little bit in the morning. It's subtle, but at least it's something.

Please let me know how you are, and it's really nice to meet you here 🙂

I wish you the best too!

Take care,
Brenda

Hello Brenda ! Sorry to reply to your message so late ... I feel bad since the last time I wrote to you. I saw my psychiatrist 2 times and we decided to go back to have some "ect" (electrochocs treatments) to try to get my humor back to normal. He also give me a new med "desipramine" to help my symptoms. I am working also with the lightbox .... I don't really notice anything special coming from its use but I keep on using it for a while. My mornings are still very hard on me, but the end of afternoons are sometime going so well, they are like a miracle to me.

I cannot write something else because I feel so tired.

Let me know how you are ...

Take care,
Sylvie (excuse my english)

@comtesse It is good to hear from you! Teresa

@comtesse My daughter used to use one of those the light boxes, for SAD, right? I have no idea if she still does or if she found it helpful. She is at a much better place now so maybe doesn’t need it anymore. She went through a huge amount of angst a while back.
