When I lived back in the North East, I suffered from SAD, it would start as soon as the clock's were changed back and last through the winter.

I use to go to the tanning salon, it helped somewhat.

Then in the Spring, I would be alive again.

Now that I live in the South West, where we don't change our clocks, hardly ever have rain, the sun is always shining.

Winter is not winter here, it's in the 60's or so during the days. The night get cool, the 40's or so.

I feel much better living in this climate. I don't miss the snow, or cold temps with that wind chill factor.

I heard those lamps do help too. I never got one, they were expensive at the time. Hoping whomever lives in those cold/snowy states have a mild winter. and a early Spring.
