Hi! I have a SAD lamp I use to help w my major depression in the winter. I use it for a few hours each day. It helps, you just need to be consistent with it and it does take a few weeks before you might notice any effects. Try to be consistent and patient and it might work out for you!

I have not tried this yet, but one of my best friends who also struggles with depression has a “natural sun lamp” for her office at work and she says it really helps.

Thank you for the reply, Rosie! I purchased a happy light and haven't been consistent with it since I moved, ope. Happy to hear it works with your friend! I hope it works with you too, when you try 💕

I have not tried it yet- I need to get things sorted out organizationally first haha! My best friend has tried it and she says it really helps her as long as she is consistent with it!
