I'm finding it so hard to post

I keep reading threads & starting to reply & then thinking I make no sense & just not bothering! Just wanted to say, Im still here & struggling with SAD! Hope everyone had a good christmas, roll on the longer days & sunshine!

Sometimes jen nothing makes sense so don't worry about it. Just write what you want or feel.

HI jen, sometimes I start to type a message then realise I havent got a clue what im doing.Hope 2008 is a lot better for you.

jen! I am not in the same boat as you, but dont worry, ive just set course for your boat and am gonna ram into ya any minute now! (hope that at least got a laugh)nehow...back to my mind and its wanderings...ladedadeda....

Quirky - were all abit quirky. Not a bad club to be part of!

Me x

funny paulst you made me laugh.

I am glad Dec is over with now i just have to get through jan.

still not sleeping any better but last year it wasn't until the end of Jan.

me to paulst I dislike what the winter does to us.

me to this year has been better than last year. Last year my hubby was picking me up off the floor and had 5 or more trips to the hospital. It wasn't fun.

Me too Paul, this seems to have been the worst winter for me for a long time, because the symptoms started so much earlier than usual, this winter feels like it's going on forever. Does anyone else feel like that?

Are you in the US Stained Glass Lady? I am in the UK and there is no snow here. Some people say SAD is a bit better with snow because it reflects the light (or something like that). Do you find that it helps? It is quite warm here for this time of year, but so grey and dull, I think I'd prefer snow!

I've heard that SAD is very common in Canada. I have relatives there and they all have depression, two of them have SAD. Seems I got my wish about the weather, it's forecast to snow tomorrow, brrrr!

Manchester is damp dull and cold Grrr

Im just trying to cheer myself up looking at travel brochures and now Ive got a tooth ache (too much chocolate)

If you take a look at this it will calculate how many daylight hours there are. It went down to about 7 h 30 mins and is now up to about 7h35. I know that one end of the day keeps getting shorter for a while , can't remember which... need to check on exact times for that.

I have been checking how much more daylight there is in Nice, was thinking I might go. It's 1h30 mins at the moment. Checked the weather forecast, but it's snow... which in Nice will probably end up being slushy and over cast. Last year went mid Jan and the weather was fab, will just have to keep an eye on it.

Me, I think you're right, it's supposed to begetting lighter in the evenings very slowly but definitely seems darker in the mornings recently. Today I left the house at 8.30 and it was only just getting light. Bracing myself for the snow tomorrow, actually quite looking forward to it, I usually feel ok on snowy days.

It's poo, isn't it!

My sis WAS born somewhere else! She was born in TObago when my parents went to work, I was born before they went and my bro after we came home. COnsequently she is a dual passport holder and eligible to live there as much and as often as she likes! Having worked there for a year,she has decided she likes it and has built a property there with her partner.

Just checked... sun rise about 6 and sets about 6 as well. Better quality of light as well. Went there 2 years ago for Christmas and felt marvellous!

Are you in Edinburgh then? I thought you were Aberdeen, Don't know why. My dd has her summer music course there this year, All I can say is 'Edinburgh beware!'. Actually they are a very good group of young peeps.
