Reply to comment by weakenedstrain in how to deal with winter? by same-shit-everyday

This is great advice. Also, don’t fall too heavy on substances (including caffeine,) and consider getting a small sun lamp- I have a cheap one from Amazon that cheers me up when I get home from work at five and it’s already dark. Do not let up on these practices until May, lol. Sometimes April hits me hardest, when it seems like it should be warmer but it’s still muddy and miserable outside.

Ps- if you’re lonely, go hang out at a cafe or become a regular at your local library. My weekly librarian chats are the best, year round!

Local libraries are CLUTCH. Many have great activities and groups, and they’re also just a great place to sit and work or relax.

Just do a product search on the Amazon website for Sun Lamps they have many different brands and styles and ranges in price.

I don't think you need an extra lamp in may (or even really much past end of march given the amount of sunlight in those months is the same as the summer) but otherwise I think these are all good suggestions
