hey there! in response to sarahs note, it is normal for people to experience this depression during the winter months. I know it hasnt been easy on me and i have noticed over the past 7 years that i have had it, that the symptoms seem to be getting worse from year to year. i just want to let you know that you are not alone. I often find myself in teh same boat as far as college goes. I have no motivation to do anything, here i am on the computer when i should be in class. I want to sleep all the time, i get irritated easily, and have these moods where i am sad and anxious. I feel like i am going crazy sometimes. I live in Canada where we get a lot of snow and the winter months are long. I really feel sorry for my wife who has to deal with the emotional turmoil i seem to experience day in and day out during these months, yet when the summer comes around i want to do so much that she has a hard time keeping up. I would love to hear from some people as well regarding SAD. I want to know that i am not alone. I want to meet others whom i can talk to. I dont feel like i need a physician but i feel that i need to know that i am okay and that others experience these feelings. Is it normal to feel like you want to break off a relationship during these times too??
