It must be so frustrating not to be able to cry. Have you adjusted your meds at all? (Forgive me if you already discussed this, I don't remember.)
When you talk about heat lamps, do you mean light therapy for SAD? If so, you can try getting a full-spectrum bulb (maybe from a hardware store) to put in a regular lamp you have. It probably won't be as strong, but you could try staying under it longer, maybe even have it on all day. (Or put two or more lamps on at the same time.) Even if you use lamps with regular bulbs it might be better than nothing. Can't hurt to try.
Are you taking vitamin D supplements? They're quite cheap. My doctor says 2000 IU per day is a safe amount.
