Thank you both for your advice. I've yet to try the SAD lights but I really hope they help...I'm prone to complex migraines linked to some heart issues, so if it becomes an issue I'll have to find some other treatment options.

I'm going to make an effort to pick up a good book and have an honest conversation with that boy...if that goes well I'll have one less think to worry about, unless the vicious cycle of high school drama and gossip continues over winter break.

I could try writing...I used to be very good but it seems like lately my writing has declined. Depression used to inspire me but I don't have that bonus anymore.
