The last two winters I’ve had some really bad mental problems. Two winters ago I spent savings and that night booked a morning flight to Florida, which helped a lot. The second time I didn’t have money to blow so I told my wife I was leaving and going to Florida, got in the car and turned off my phone (it was more traumatic and not a good time, she was very upset about me effectively abandoning her and our children. And I was effectively insane for the next two hours, which is good because if I had been thinking clearly I could have booked a flight and ended up 1500 miles away with no plan). About an hour of driving later I snapped out of it, but I’m pretty sure the lack of sunlight where I live in the winter is making me go crazy.
- nradov 4y agoI'm not a doctor but it's likely you have something more going on mentally than just lack of sunlight. For the sake of yourself and your family, please see a psychiatrist.
- staticman2 4y agoIf you haven't done it you can try one of those Seasonal Affective Disorder lights that is supposed to simulate sunlight.

People go up to 90,000 lux. https://lorienpsych.com/2020/12/19/light-therapy/#:~:text=Eliezer%20Yudkowsky%20built%20another%20light%20to%20treat%20his,10%2C000%3B%20you%20can%20see%20the%20schematics%20here%20 https://lorienpsych.com/2020/12/19/light-therapy/#:~:text=El....
