I also changed most of the light bulbs in my house to natural spectrum bulbs. Recently I bought a "Sunshine Simulator" from the same company. It seems to help. I don't feel as blah, bored, listless, restless, etc.

Thanks for the link, I wonder if they sell those here.

Some common symptoms of OCD include:

Obsessions

Thoughts about contamination, or germs
Doubts about safety, doing harm, or being harmed CHECK
A need for order, to have things "just right" CHECK
Fear of making mistakes CHECK
Fear of behaving in a socially unacceptable manner

I'm 3 out of 5 on that one

Compulsions

Repeated actions, such as hand-washing
Checking and rechecking that something has been done CHECK
Arranging objects over and over CHECK
Counting/repeating
Hoarding objects and feeling unable to throw them away CHECK

3 out of 5 there too. Now I'm starting to worry. This page mentions saritonin whatever. Is that chemical linked to SAD ?

I've been feeling exactly the same way for the last 3 weeks, as soon as it got really cold. No motivation, none of my usual excitement about new projects etc.

I'm thinking about skipping Vegas & heading for a sunny beach with some Coronas instead.
