Hi jean...do you live on the northern hemisphere? I find on grey wintry days it can be nearly impossible to find any brightness anywhere...I am in summer atm and every day I am amazed what a difference sunshine makes. You might need to be a bit more gentle on yourself for a bit if you get like that too, also I hear people talk of light lamps that they say really helps tho I havent tried them myself. The other non-medical thing that helps me most is to walk everyday. Most days it takes a great strength of will to get started...I go with a friend if I can. By the end of the walk i feel so much better i am always glad i did it..lol..of course the next day i go through it all again but days where i walk in the morning are much better than days i give in and stay in bed..
