Since I started homeopathy though it has gotten much better, I can go out to the corner and get my son off the bus instead of waiting for my husband to do it. That is really big for me.

July is particularly horrible. I hate having nothing to do (but really everything to do), no schedule, feeling so alone. I get heat stroke amazingly easily so I end up huddled inside in AC most of the time. I'm also very light sensitive so I wear sunglasses always, no matter what season.

Actually, I hate the heat all year. I have been told that sitting in sunlight helps people with depression, but obviously this wouldn't help you, if sunlight makes you feel worse.
