Hi there @Ordinay05 , welcome to the forums!

 

I'm sorry to hear things have been so hard for you so far this winter.

 

You're the 4th person in 2 days who have shared somethingn similar. Are you referring to seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?

 

I don't experience SAD) myself, but one member mentioned using lamp light therapy. Do you know much about it?

I struggle with Depression that is year round however I feel as though it intensifies so much more through winter. Ive brought some LED lights also having twinkle lights. I could utilise the light on my Diffuser but it still feels verry cold and depressing 😔
