Yay seasonal depression. It’s rough on me.

Have you tried one of those silly little SAD lights? Some people swear by them! 15 minutes of shining a bright light on your face with your eyes closed I the morning is all it takes

I'm half way between thinking they work and thinking they're placebo. Good luck!

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

This is true!

I have! But they don’t really work for me. I’m trying to add some Vitamin D this year and try some things a therapist suggested.

Been a struggle for me for a long time too. I'm grateful when it snows because it's SO MUCH BRIGHTER. The little happy lights don't help and give me a headache but I was gifted a used panel one and it's a lot better, I keep it on the window sill to run in the mornings.

And I'm trying to do better about getting outside at lunch time, even if it's raining. It helps.

Just a couple weeks until the days start getting longer! Hang in there.
