I thought you said dark and clear where less dismal than dark and rainy.

Originally posted by RookRAKFor people who are affected by the darkness, light therapy often works very well. I am prone to depression as well, but I don't think darkness affects me that way. I think heat and possibly bright light (which hurts my eyes) may contribute negatively, though.
