Excellent idea.
I got one for my office a few years ago, and it really helped.
Previously I could feel the sad enveloping me.

Yes, definitely a physical feeling as well as mental.
Similar to hay fever, which I also have.
(Sun is bright today, so at least I don't have that to worry about!)

Why does a small patch of blue sky toward the end of a very gloomy day make me instantly feel better? (Happened just now, but then, Boom it's gone).
Why am I so affected by the weather? What a pain in the ass this is.

Brevity is the soul of wit:
You had a haiku of hope then pow!
Thanks for sharing.

Hello M, thanks.
It's such a drag to be affected so easily by it. The light box helps though.
Awhile ago I was pretty stressed and posted a bunch of haiku/poetry snippets. Felt like a compulsion, but it helped. Here's one -
Have you ever held a bird in your hand?
So Fragile
So Beautiful
So Determined to Live....

From Pink Floyd
"....And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum...."

Excellent. I am really glad to hear that.
What’s the plan for mitigating SAD this coming winter?
