I forgot how difficult it could be!

Hello everyone
I have had SAD for 11 years now and although I've learnt to cope with it this year has hit me really hard. I think because we've had such a dark summer in the uk and I've had symptoms all the way through I thought that I was doing ok. But with the days getting shorter and the weather getting even worse my symptoms of unsuppressable hunger, mood changes and tiredness are getting worse.

I know there are supplements to help SAD but have never tried them can anyone suggest one?

Sorry for the rant!

Nicky, I originally read your thread title as "I'd forgotten how difficult I could be" - sums me up at the moment!

I'm struggling quite badly at the mo and am becoming a bit of a cow to live with. I can see and feel it happening but I don't seem to be able to stop it happening...

Thats exactly how I feel it's like I am watching myself on this downwards spiral and I keep thinking don't say that or behave yourself!
I might give the st johns wort a go! Don't want to medicate this year unless i really have to- so thought i'd try the herbal equivelant.

Same here Piglet and I hate myself for it........

It's like being on a mission of self destruct

I have read that SJW also makes you light sensitive, so it isnt a good idea apparently to mix it with Light therapy.
