THE DREADED CLOCKS HAVE GONE BACK....OH DEARY ME!

Does anyone feel even worse this time of year now that the clocks have gone back ???

This is when I have to try especially hard to control those SAD symptoms.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :

I made myself go out this weekend after staying in and hiding for the last two ( it's too easy to stay in don't you agree!!!)
So far I have controlled my sugar cravings and had salad again for lunch! :)

People at work show mild signs of the winter blues which I always notice this when it gets to October( have a trained eye of course :shock: )

Well I must go and get my daily dose of lightbox!!!
This is my life saver also my partners and my cat too!!!!

I f I can get through this winter as I have so far then all will be well but this is never the case.

Christmas is the worse time for me, I hate it (especially now that Santa never calls anymore!!!) :(

Well take care all you SAD lot out there and speak to you soon.

Love Donna X 8) 8)

P.S. Oldhippy, may I ask what you do in the day if you have no work? What I mean is how do you keep occupied to reduce the depression with SAD???
Hope you don't mind me asking!!!
Bye 4 now.

Hi Donna

I bang my head severial times a day of the nearest wall :lol: :lol:

no only Joking I think, o my head aches like hell :shock:

I have to keep my mind semi operating on computer, you know make web sites then delete them, anything to keep mind off the SAD and depression and aches and pains and wanting to kill a few gov employees.


Plus my beady work tends to keep mind on something, instead of leting it wonder whats out there.

As the winter progresses it become more and more dificult and by march I am more or less ready to colapse as I am totally drained of all energy :arrow: :!: :?: :?

I like to read a humour book or something, like Spike Milligan any thing to raise a smile and laugh :D :D

Think next year a summer job might be better or finding a employer that understands SAD better then the *rap I have applied to before.

Basically I volunteer for anything to keep the brain cells working on something else. Although at times I feel like crawling up in bed and waking up next April.

I do get the dreaded down days when I just cannot fuction and my head feels like it will explode, this is especilly at moment when you get sarastic letters from gov depts that only create the feeling of no self worth and def kills what confidence you might have draged back from Mr SAD.

But Ive survived many years with it and know it is the SAD doing it, its just a pity some gov depts dont understand people with SAD or the effects of dealing with day to day problems SAD can cause to us all that suffer from it.

But keep the mind busy, my computer this time of year if my savoiur. :D :D :D :D
