Hi all- I struggle a lot during the winter months with SEVERE health anxiety. Everything I feel or any spot on my body turns into something horrible in my mind. (I’m a nurse) so I feel like I just know too much about possibilities!

Anyways, I share an office with a girl my age and she has trouble with depression in the winter. We were talking about buying a UV light, SAD light, to use in our office each day.

 

Has anyone had luck with any specific one? We already know the risks etc, just looking for either “yes it helped me” “no it didn’t help me” or suggestions for models!!

 

Thank you!

I recommend the Verilux brand. You might also like to read a nice post that blogger Oh Joy! recently wrote about her own experience with light therapy in the winter:

Good luck!
