Hey, here via huzzlewhat: my SAD has been pretty bad over the last 10 years, and while I've considered the various light boxes, I discovered the much cheaper daylight light bulbs that GE made, and those have replaced every bulb in my house from October through April for the last few years.
Couldn't find them this year and when we finally contacted GE, they said that because these bulbs didn't meet the new standards of those compact-fluorescent (?) things, they wouldn't be making them any more. Damn those polar bears!
I fell for the Sylvania "daylight" bulbs but those are just to make things look pretty, like GE's reveal, not actually provide anything useful.
Yesterday I came across some daylight bulbs at Whole Foods that I'm going to check out.
What would really help would be a computer screen that used natural light, right?
I'm one of those people who gets giddy tomorrow when I can tell myself that yes, it really is staying lighter later each evening! (As opposed to someone I know who gets depressed in the middle of June knowing it will be getting darker sooner from then on!)
I guess for some people the light's half on?;-)
Anyway, there's a Costco around the corner from me and a medical savings account begging to be drained. I will check this out.
In the meantime, warm, sunshine-filled hugs to all our fellow SADs!
