Here are some brief descriptions of the program:

I think of it as living a more natural lifestyle - the way we evolved to live - in small groups, outside most of the day, sleeping when it's dark, etc.

I'm like jimi. When I'm down, contact with other people tends to make it worse. I'm pretty down on myself during those times, so it's easy to think that other people are down on me too. And maybe they are. Frankly, I'm not fun to be around when I'm feeling depressed. Negative and complaining. And missing social cues.

I've been thinking about this over the last few days. My mood has brightened quite a bit just over the last two or three days. It's tempting to say, "Oh, the fish oil helped!" Or, "I started taking care of myself and sent a subliminal message to myself that I'm worthy caring for, so my mood improved."

My guess, though, is that my mood was already starting to improve, and that's how I had the energy to start working on this program. You know? It's hard to do all this stuff when you're depressed. Maybe the time to start a program like this one is not when you're in the pits of depression. Maybe it's best use is to insulate you from falling back into depression?

I don't know. All I know is I feel a thousand times better that I did a week or two ago.

I've picked the light I want to buy. It's the one he mentioned in his book. I can't remember what it's called now.
