Hi Everyone,
My confidence is falling by day , it is quite ironic but it has taken me 2 days to build up enough confidence to post this to see if anybody else was feeling the same. :(
Today at work i didn't feel that i could make a decision - or was even worthy of an opinion- this is a bit of a problem as I manage a big team of people! :shock:
I sit with my lightbox on at work - but am feeling very self conscious about it , like i have got freak written on my forehead.
I am really struggling at the moment, My weight is going through the roof cause i just can't stop eating but this is just making me fell even more out of control!
Bye for now
love
Lizzie

Hi Lizzie, don't despair, you are not on your own.

I am feeling exactly the same as I am sure others are.

It's really hard to maintain a level approach to each day. I start with all good intentions and seem to bluff my way through most of the day.

Keep your chin up.

Sending you big cyber hugs

Thanks for the hugs Suzie. :D
I have been being treated for SAD for 6 years now and i still find it unreal how it changes you as a person from season to season.At this time of year every day just gets harder until about March/April when everyday starts to get a bit easier.
I think you are right though, you do need to take a day at a time.
Here's to a better day tomorrow, for all of us.
Night Night

I wish everyone could experience just 1 week of SAD and then maybe they would understand a little better what we go through.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and just think I can't do this anymore, it's just too hard!! I hate my life every winter.
