a lightbox will not bring back a sense of enjoyment. But a sense of enjoyment can negate the need for a lightbox.

Eat a balanced healthy diet. Talk to friends. Exercise. practice good sleep hygiene. have structure to each day. have achievable goals. focus on positives. if caught thinking about negatives work through your perceptions and look at alternative explanations. accept that some days are bad. tomorrow can always be better.

You don't have to spend money to recover from depression.

Done all that - still depressed.

Thanks for the advice, I'm sure it will help other people.

How effective are the light bulbs?

I've noticed today that I feel like I'm drowning in darkness lol!! and have been through the house opening curtains as wide as I can, lifting blinds to the top etc.

I dont like the idea of sitting in front of a bright light as i get headaches easily, but would be interested in the idea of daylight light bulbs.

so...is there any info on whether these are effective?

Some depressions wont resolve unless the cause of the depression can be identified and dealt with. sometimes it's a situation (whether known or not) and sometimes it's general life events, which is why talking therapies are mopre effective than medications/light boxes.

Sorry you still feel depressed, but keep looking after yourself. much love

SAD Lamps

SAD Lamps or lights advice would be great

SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) lamp....

this would probably be fine for most people £19.99. Energy Saving 2D Task Light 38W
But do be aware I haven't used my sadlights for over 2 yrs now, they are still in the attic. Since I raised my D3 status above 125nmol/l with 4000iu/daily although I have to admit that I'm even better with 5000iu/daily. always better to eliminate the cause than for ever treat the symptoms.

Actually 'savemoney' it's not spam - it's a genuine 5% discount code. What does it matter that it happens to be a referral code ? Use it and get 5% off. This site is here to save people money. Most of your posts are about your own self-interest, not that of others.

If you look at the top of the page, there is a warning triangle, and next to it says:
