Seasonally Affective Disorder (SAD)

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.

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

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.
