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. -- Posted by twerp at 9:18 am on April 29, 2008 didnt someone already post this i mean really -- Posted by MrSir at 9:20 am on April 29, 2008 Quote: from twerp at 9:18 am on April 29, 2008 didnt someone already post this i mean really I didnt post this topic so jackasses could say 'didnt someone already post this topic' im in need of advice not trash talk -- Posted by EmerleeX at 9:46 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.

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. -- Posted by Arguia at 2:41 pm on April 29, 2008 Don't diagnose yourself. Go and see a doctor. -- Posted by Poker Shark at 11:40 pm on April 29, 2008 Lightbox. -- Posted by Radon at 12:04 am on April 30, 2008 First off, get your ass to a doctor. Second, expose yourself to lots of natural sunlight every day. 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.
