Whoops, with Christmas and New Year, I've been a bit naughty and not been keeping to my normal regime. Normally, I have 45 mins of light in the morning and go cycling and go swimming.

However, it's been too cold to go cycling and swimming stopped for two weeks. I've also been staying in bed in the morning and napping in the afternoon.

The end result is that I'm feeling flat. Mojo's gone, can't be bothering, everything is hopeless there is just no point.

Anyway, the moral of the story is keep to your regime!

A few more days of discipline and I'll be back again.

It's nice to know that lots of other people go through the same at this time of year.

All the best Saddies

Yes I know exactly where you're coming from Dave and i think there'll be a few more in the same boat as us.
I'd just got back together with my ex at the end of November and was in a good routine prior to this but with the start of the holidays i was spending less time keeping up with my routine; gym, lightbox, walking the dogs etc and more with her. Anyway to compound things I caught one of the many lurgys kicking about which left me with no energy and bad guts etc over christmas so the girl friend got it into her head that i was in a mood with her? and threw the toys out the pram, so our relationship is on hold/over which has given me sleepless nights. So all in all another disastrous christmas and newyear ha ha!
In all seriousness it has been quite a downer and I find it really difficult to manage relationships with SAD, i'm starting to wonder if i'm better off single to avoid all the stress.
I'd be interested to know how other people cope with relationships at this time of year?
Kindest regards
