It's a Verliux HappyLight Deluxe Energy Lamp. And it actually works. I don't even remember the last emotional breakdown I had regarding the grey gloom of Olympia.
I used to have so much anxiety regarding winter time here...like the kind you might get with someone holding a hammer over your hand, about to slam it down....you know its gunna hurt and you anticipate the immense pain! After 4 winters here, thats how I feel around sept/oct...the gloom and doom of winter is right around the corner and it's terrible. Literally a case of S.A.D (seasonal affective disorder).
My poor husband has seen it at it's worst and has been so loving through it. After almost weekly breakdowns about living here and literally hating it and even attempting to move (last winter), we decided to invest in the light.
I've used that beloved light 11 out of the last 14 days for at least 30 minutes a day, either in the morning while i get ready (seems to be the most effective) or when we get home from work (not too late or it'll keep you up like caffeine) and I can feel the difference! It is a life saver. A mood saver. An attitude saver. And I'm super thankful for it. Cheers to not hating life during the winter and being okay with living here through it.
