Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't typically write reviews, but this product is worthy of one. I have winter seasonal affective disorder. I have never experienced it before. I just thought SAD was a "fancy medical term" that doctors made up to sell more drugs to people. I always thought that yeah, people get a little sad in the winter. Oh my goodness, winter depression is a REAL thing. It hit me so hard this year. When it comes to medicine, I am against western medicines. I only take them when I can't find another option. I prefer natural ways of fixing things. This light has been a God-Send. I read a lot about light therapy and figured I'd give it a shot. After a few days of use, I had my first full day of not having the overwhelming urge to burst into tears. That was only one day. The few days I was kind of back to "normal"...feeling sad, depressed, withdrawn. I kept with it, though. What I had read online said sometimes it takes a few weeks to notice a difference. For me, that was the case. I have had my light for 4 weeks now, I use it Monday - Friday. I try to remember to use it on the weekends, but I usually don't get the option. It has helped tremendously. It has been over a week since I've cried for no reason and I don't have the overwhelming urge to cry either. I join in conversations with my coworkers, I sit in the living room with my family instead of hiding away in my room, it's easier to get out of bed each morning. People don't constantly ask me "What's wrong?" Anyway, I know a pill would have helped me faster and I would probably feel even better that I do, but, this light is amazing and I much prefer it over some medication that has a billion side effects. It is 100% worth it! Oh, and my apologies for writing so much :)
