Letting it go would be nice

[dragonyphoenix]

I had been super frustrated right up until last Tuesday. The kind of frustrated where I knew I was being unreasonable over things that shouldn’t have been bothering me at all but where I could not stop being upset. And then on Tuesday there were blue skies and sun, and I drove around for about an hour, running errands, and suddenly found myself thinking, “I feel great!” So apparently it was mostly SAD.

It does interest me that I could see I was being unreasonable - getting horrifically upset over situations that shouldn’t have even been an issue - but I couldn’t stop myself from feeling that anger. That’s an improvement, I’m thinking, from feeling justified when angry. Hopefully I can move to seeing that I’m upset over something stupid and then being able to let go of that anger. That would be nice.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a tough time. I'm glad you got a break with some of that sun last Tuesday. Today was wonderful, and I hope you get to be out in the nice weather.
If you're interested in the sunlamp/lightbox thing we mentioned the other night, we got ours from Sunbox (they're in Gaithersburg btw, and are locally owned, etc.). Because it was prescribed, it counted as a medical expense for us (and depending on your insurance, how you do your taxes, and/or whether or not you've got a sheltered medical spending account you'll likely be able to get one for less). I don't see the one we have listed on their site anymore (SunBox DL), but they've produced some solid lamps over the years.

Thanks. We seem to have enough warm-ish and sunny-ish days coming up that I should be okay this year. I'll keep the sunlamp in mind for next year though.
