Anyone here suffer with s.a.d? Luckily I'm borrowing a daylight lamp as of tomorrow, but I am really struggling this year.

SAD lamps are excellent. Hope that makes a difference for you.

Do make sure you reach out and tell people if you’re feeling low. It’s a real leveller to share with people and you’d be surprised how many people feel a struggle, and how useful it is to realise you’re not on your own.

Wishing you well.

It's possible to buy daylight simulating light bulbs too. Craft shops sell them, though they are quite pricey, you can probably get them in lots of places now.

I go to work in the dark, and i get home in the dark. Some days I dont even see the daylight some days. Generally I don't feel any different. This week I have felt quite low, probably not helped by the fact some one broke into my house and tried to steal the car whilst I was busy working on Monday. Luckily the got nothing and didn't harm the dog. A stiff drink and a early night sorted me out. After I had blades the back of my house up of course..

Yes I used to suffer really badly with this but since moving to the countryside and using lamps it's improved alot.

I've been getting like this each year and only came to the realisation that it could be SAD. My partner sees it in me too. Currently going to "Wellbeing" meetings at the moment but find them patronising.

No drugs this time. Don't want them.

I’ve just been diagnosed with a calcium and Vitamin D deficiency, one of the main symptoms can be feeling particularly low and tired.

I now have to take prescribed supplements as the over the counter ones aren’t enough to top it up

Always worth getting your levels checked out

SAD is a form of depression essentialy caused by a lack of sunlight, melatonin... The lamps recreate the sunlight.

SAD lamps help. Also getting out in the fresh air helps. There is no such thing as bad weather just the wrong cloths. Also regular exercise and a balanced diet will help.

I'll research the lamps. I get enough exercise.

I've also got SAD. Where can you get the lights from?

I've always found this an odd bit of positive advice to give someone suffering from any sort of depression. As it either makes you appear as a mood hoovering sad sack, bringing down the vibe or you realise you're living in a world full of sad depressed people.
