You may remember i last posted a while ago, fter my GP, referred me for CBT, I have to admit it was good and beneficial.

This I i have felt a lot better, and myself lot happier, until DDay, yeah the clocks chnaged,

At first never thought about it as my 17 month is teething and up about 2 every morning with him, (i sleep lightly, andmy wife never hears him).

However, he seetled down about a week ago, and i got to sleep for up to 10 hours a night, cool i hearyou say,but wow not enough, want tostay and sleep all day, now total lethargic, no interest, instead of checking email every day or twic a day, dont even switch on computer for a week at a time now.

Is this my SAD symptoms coming back, I have always had a feeling of unhappiness, mood swings and depression each winter, but this is different.

What you all think?

By the way glad you all still here

Helo Big G

I have found that if I let myself sleep for longer than 8-9 hours it can make my sad worse as it can perpetuate the tiredness which ultimately leads to my sleep cycle upside down. I used to be up until 3am and sleeping in late then wanting to sleep in the day.

Do you have a dawn simulator? How is your light box therapy going ?
(can't remember if you have one).

I have young children and I know how stressful it is looking after them when you have sad, just dig your wife in the ribs at night 8) :lol:
