Originally posted by Donald Trump It's natural to feel down in January around here, it's seasonal. Might be worth buying some bright LED bulbs for your place, or going to somewhere sunny for a week or two. It's amazing to get off into the sun during the winter, you are so used to rain and grey and clouds, and you get out of the airport and suddenly everything is sunny and warm and dry.
I have one of those S.A.D. lamps and I definitely think it helps a bit. I just turn mine on whenever I'm chilling in my bedroom. Think I paid $25 or so for it.

2022-01-20 at 3:50 PM UTCI have a s.a.d. lamp too I've had it for like 5 years and used it probably 5 times and 4 of those were the 4 days after I got it.
When I'm happy I don't think I need it and when I'm depressed, I'm too depressed to turn on a fucking lamp. Lol goddamn, ME.
Anyway thanks for the reminder I'm gonna turn mine on today for a little while. If I don't IMMEDIATELT get a huge burst of energy and extreme feelings of joy and accomplishment I'm gonna be very disappointed though. They're supposed to work exactly like crystal meth, right??The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Work isn't meant to be "fun"...no pain no gain etc.

Originally posted by Solstice Yeah, excercise helps too. I'm not suggesting replacing one with the other, just listing another potential tool.
A brisk walk would involve being subjected to Sol...so you get both at the same time (assuming it's not always cloudy)
ETA: sitting in the house with a lamp isn't even close to going out and getting some exercise and sun...take a flask of GREEN TEA with you and overload on the vitality. You even have a chance of interacting with other humans while you are out which is also good for mental health. -
2022-01-20 at 4:06 PM UTCdo you have a recommendation on a specific typatea

You're an alcoholic who has an enabler and no real life consequences to worry about which is always a disaster waiting to happen. Your mom isn't doing you any favors by allowing you to sit around and drink beer all day rent-free. You need someone to help you get some structure and discipline. Or something. -

I get SSI and pay 400 a month in rent, but yeah she definitely isn't helping. I really feel bad sometimes and I think that's what makes me drink, that and boredom -

I'm not sure what you're trying to convince me of lol. We're on the same page here. I'm aware of what you're telling me. I was obviously being facetious about expecting the lamp to magically cure me after using it for a couple seconds. -

I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just being an arse as usual. -

Why are you acting like such a dense boomer all of a sudden? It's so bizarre how people like you will cherry pick little tidbits of a conversation and go running off the rails with it. "HE SUGGESTED A LAMP MIGHT HELP, HE OBVIOUSLY THINKS IT WILL REPLACE EXCERCISE AND SEEING THE SUN!" -
