@suz55 the evidence for light box therapy is not proven. However, as noted, some people say they have seen improvement with it. I do know that extended periods of cloudy weather like what is happening now in the middle of the USA, can lead to feeling more depressed. If you would like to try a light box, you could talk with your doctor about what they think of it and if there is any reason for you to get one. If they do approve of you getting one, then getting a prescription for one from your doctor would be good because sometimes insurance will pay for it when you get a prescription.

@suz55 - my doctor recommended using this type of light. Her son used one with good results. I tend to think positively when trying a new way to help make myself feel better. Keeping this in mind it has worked very well for me. Also I used it during the summer because during very humid weather I'm house bound do to lung cancer.
I can't tell why my attitude is what it is. I think that it's stubbornness.
You also have to move! You need to get outside if you can and exercise. I know how impossible this can seem but it's a must!
