SJB,
What part of the country (State) are you in? I'm in Michigan, and I can tell you that the long winter is no fun. Also, if you don't mind, do you have the opportunity to meet new people? Meeting new people can sometimes allow you to evaluate your feelings differently. I'm sure you're wary of advice, but when the meds are failing I crumble an orange peal and breath in. When I'm discouraged I watch the clouds blow overhead and understand that I have no control. I hope you feel better.> I'm so despondent. My depression and binge eating get worse every winter so I finally decided to try light box therapy. I got a SunBox from Apollo and have used it religously for the past month, 30 minutes each morning, sitting close, right in front of it as recommended. Nothing. My weight's the highest it's been for many years. I have no energy, just want to eat and sleep all the time. My excercise routine just gets harder and harder and I become more depressed afterwards 'cause it's just so hard. I cry all the time and am leaving work today. Don't even want to bother going back to PDoc or therapist, though I promised husband I would. What's the use. I have tried over 25 different meds and have had therapy up the ying yang. I just wish I'd die already. This isn't a life and I'm a sorry excuse for a human being. I take up space, more of it, is about it.
