I suffer from chronic anxiety and have done so since my early teens and also sometimes from SAD. It's cloudy a lot where I live and rains too much. I wish we had colder temperatures with clearer skies. I could get used to the cold eventually. When it is cold (below 3C) it hits you and before you could get used to it, it goes mild and damp again. It's 10C outside at the moment during the daytime but dull. I've just bought myself a full spectrum energy saving lightbulb for £25. I don't know if it is working yet. It will take time so I will let you know.



I work for a leading mental health charity so I am clued up about mental illness, causes, stigma and coping strategies. I take mega doses of Vitamins B and C plus multi mineral/vitamin tablet. Vanadium at small dosage levels is supposed to regulate mood swings.
