Seasonally Affective Disorder (SAD)

These miserable cold damp days are really getting to me. I'll be glad when spring comes and the days get longer.

Know how you feel. Kids have forgotten half the presents they got last week already, scoff at me when I mention writing thank you cards or going out and spending some family time together..too cold, too wet.... and I'm back at work in a few days, today was my last day off. Thank City for the footy though.

Still, it's getting warmer and brighter each day. Not long before we're in the grip of another heatwave and all the delights that will bring.

My dear father claimed he suffered from it. Always wondered why he was able to abuse me and my brother through the other seasons...

Cheers pal. Í took vitamin D last winter and it definitely helped. I think I'll get some later.

Wouldn't mind this time of the year, if it wasn't for all the bloody rain we get over here.

I've had meltdowns the last two Decembers, to the point I even joke about it with the mrs now.

My mates swear by the lamps. Worth £50 if they help you through the next few months.

27 degrees here. Been one of the warmest winters I can remember in the 25 + years living on and off in various parts of Spain.
The winters I was back in the UK were grim as fuck and I'm in no rush to ever experience them again.

I bought one 3 years ago, gathering dust now. Waste of time.

I wish i could emigrate to a warmer climate pal. I should have been born i big grizzy bear and be in hibernation now because i feel grumpy as fuck : (

My friend had one, worked for her. I guess we are all different though.

I used to get SAD really bad over twenty years ago, had to go to see my doctor. He said i was suffering from SAD which I'd never heard of. He recommended i try and get off doing 12 hour night shifts in a factory. I did and didn't get it again until 4 years back. Last winter I felt fine. I think the vitamin D definitely help me raised my serotonin level.

I reckon I used to have the same issues when I was working, especially when I set off for work & returned in the dark.
In retirement, I make sure I get up just before it gets light to maximise daylight hours & get out the house for a run or walk at the earliest possible opportunity. Seems to work for me.
