Oh, and for what it's worth, my SAD lamp is helping. My depression is better yesterday and today after I think I found the sweet spot for the intensity. I'm not all better by any means and combined with being sick I may not get out of bed tomorrow but something is improving I think.

I don't use the SAD lamp even every year but I recommend having one if you are at all prone to seasonal depressions. I suspect I'll be using mine until March or April now.
