Gimmie the serotonin and nobody gets hurt

I'm not joking about the light box. (Not joking about getting one, and not joking about the fact that they're more expensive than a ticket to West Palm Beach.)

My self-diagnosis of SAD didn't come from out of nowhere. I was talking to a woman at work who's been diagnosed with it, and she was the one who advanced the hypothesis (when I said "It's like I've had raging PMS for six weeks straight.")

She also pointed out that last year I worked in an office with a floor to ceiling window, and now I work in a basement. (I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler...)

So maybe I need light. That damn serotonin, it's not going to make itself under the flicker of a 15-watt fluorescent desk lamp.

Skip the light box, get thee to a pshrink for antidepressant meds. They work, and are cheaper than a light box.
