I don't know Racer. My mum was crying tonight saying she didn't understand why I wasn't getting any better. I felt so GUILTY. She shouldn't have to put up with this at her age.
I have never tried light therapy, but I would like to. I don't have the money to buy one now, but maybe some day. I don't have ANY money now because I am still waiting for my employment insurance money. ACK! It's so frustrating.
Yes, we can hang on together.

It's so hard to be where you are, but you've been there before and know that you do manage to survive -- the fact that you have found yourself a job since the last time you got this bad shows that things don't always stay as bad as they are now.

At least, I don't get to the same depths of misery as I know I used to in the winter. (Of course, that's not to say that the winter has no effect on me -- only that it's not nearly as bad as it was before the lamp.)
