Does anyone use light therapy?

[71 SE3834V]

I keep telling myself "The days are getting longer now."

I've often thought I suffered from this. I don't know if it's the lack of light or just the cold as I suffer from head to toe with arthritis in just about every joint in my body. I've been told I have the back of a 70 yr old, (I'm 53) no offense to any 70 yr olds out there. I've seen a pain control doc once a month for about 5 yrs or so now. Some days I get so down cause I'm having a hard time continuing to do the things I like to do like hunt, fish, work on my cars and continuing to do what I do for a living (work on power equip.). I'm currently looking for another line of work, after being self employed for 25 yrs, that wouldn't be so hard on my body.
Pressing on....

I never got the winter blues until this year.   I had lived right on the beach in Florida since 2010, then this summer moved back to TN.  As soon as it started getting cold and dreary I started getting depressed and lethargic.   I figure that's gotta be what's causing it.

Good for you!

That's all about looking out instead of in and having some laughs.  It really does help.
