Welcome back -- I'm glad to see you pop up on my droll, but I wasn't waiting impatiently.
Because I *have* been diagnosed with SAD, and I've been having same kind of misery -- I think of it as Melancholy Standard Time, November to March. It's sounds just like what you describe. And who installed the webcam feed from my doctor appointments to your apt?
Lightboxes are relatively cheap (~$300) and you don't need a prescription to get one. When I found one that's strong enough, and dinked around with timing, it makes a night and day difference (so to speak). I agree 100% re: exercise (I swim three times a week. In better weather I bus, but this year I had to use my bus company's door-to-door ride service ($4/trip) for twelve sessions. I also take a picquant combo of meds.

There are some ways out of the dreariness.
