I hope it was all a coincidence because I really want to use the light box and ward off the seasonal depression.

I've had to start and stop then restart my box several times in a year before to get a positive effect. Too early and I get manic. I never start it until mid-November because of this. Some years I am able to use it and some years I can't. Right now I am not sure I'll be trying it at all this year since I'm having trouble sleeping already. I'll have to see.
Have you had a vitamin D level checked lately? That can really help with the symptoms you mentioned and a deficiency is really common.
