Even on a cloudy day there is much more brightness outside than in a lit up room. Take a long walk or something. And since you say you've got all the symptoms, i'm guessing you're depressed? I'm no expert on that, but I guess you could pick something you enjoy a lot and do it every day. Stay active. And again, go see a doctor. There, that's all I can do for you. Adios.

Sorry, but maybe you're freaking about something. It could be something you made yourself believe it's true..  Just because you have the symptoms doesn't mean you do have it, please go to an specialist.

However, getting out during whatever daylight time you can, plus mild exercise  like simply walking briskly or light jogging is said to help. I found it helps a little bit. zigily Posted at 9:08 am on April 29, 2008 Quote: from MrSir at 9:06 am on April 29, 2008 Quote: from EmerleeX at 9:03 am on April 29, 2008 Day-lights.    Especially for this disorder.    x whos going to buy it?
