I'm really shocked that so far, I've not had any mood issues during the winter here. This will be our 4th winter and the first three were really not nearly as dreadful as I imagined.

I think that for me, a BIG part of it is spending pretty much every weekend entirely outside during the daylight hours, regardless of what the weather is doing. It started as a necessity for us with the farm, but now I kind of make sure I do it whether there is work to do or not.

Weekdays are harder, and getting up to milk goats when it's pitch black out is very difficult. But they HAVE to be milked, so its not like I can just blow it off. I think it helps that I'm outside for a bit every, single day...even if it is dark out!

I hope the light box works for you. I've never used anything like that but I've known people who have had some success with them.
