Someone please tell me what I am suppose to do?? I just find everyday hard at the moment, it is dark and horrible and I feel so alone. People do not understand why i feel this way, they think i am just being moody. I try so hard to be happy, to make people laugh like i normally do but the smiles just don't come. I keep reminding myself that i won't always feel like this but then i get angry that i have to feel this way at all. :( :( :( :cry: :cry:

Dudes I have developed my miserable cantankerous behavious to last all year round then people have no expectations of me to be a shiny happy person :x What do you guys do as a regime to counteract the symptoms. I think it might be time to raise a new posting outlining the steps individuals take to stay afloat. It's generally a long list of stuff! :cry:
I take my lightbox to work and explain my illness if people ask so that hopefully people understand I won't be my usual self.
My thoughts are a bit vague this morning i'll leave it here!

well i have noticed after really partying very hard for the last 7 months in the summer and surviving on hardly any sleep, i am now slowing down but am still keeping my social life going, i think this will help me to keep going!

This will be my 1st year in 8 that i will not have my ex boyfriend to help me through it. we are still good mates and i have a new boyfriend who gets tired anyway since getting over cancer a couple of years a go. together i think we can get through this though.

my new friends have told me that they hate winters too so i dont feel alone now.

the good thing about splitting from my ex in feb is that i have lost two and half stone and am nice and slim again for the 1st time in years yay!!! i am also now really active, i walk at least half hour most days and am waiting to start up boxing soon to tone up too.

hope we can all help each other through this winter, i hate christmas so once thats over, i will be thinking yippie roll on the spring!!!!

chat soon guys

Donna :wink:
