Seasonal Depression

I was wondering if many people experience this--I'm not referring to Seasonal Affective Disorder, similar just as the seasons change there is a gloominess or sadness in some days as you "wean" from season to season .  It will go away once you get accustomed to the season, but as the seasons change it can be hard to go through.  I don't have many ways to get through it other than to let it pass, and wondered what other people did who may get this.  Thanks.

Melissa.

I experience this now more for personal reasons

but I am lucky that I work and can get out.

The winter is always hard for me, I don't handle

cold well and it depresses me when the trees are

bare and the birds don't sing but when I was younger

I would work a lot of jigsaw puzzles, and circle word

puzzles and play music more than any other time.

Some days were harder than others but I just found

things to keep me busy, now if I have spare time I am

surfing the web or playing games on my computer.

Thanks sludge, that's what I am doing the most too now--on the computer or have a movie on or something.   This season always seems to be the worst for me too for transitioning between seasons.  It will get easier eventually but in the meantime not knowing how your mood will be each day is hard to deal with.  Hard to plan things for.

Maybe we should check into the mood light

that Yvonne mentioned once.(hope it was her)

or just hibernate and never look outside. That's

what I would like to do.

You think the mood light really works?  Is it expensive?

I'm for hibernating but I can only do it for so long (a long time, but still I'll eventually need to get out).

I agree with Sludge  a friend of mines Dr Told her the same exact thing.  I heard they cost about 178 dollars!

xox

 

where do you get them?

Melissa.

Hi Melissa,

I believe a friend told me that she

got hers off of E-bay, not sure but

may be able to find it here in the

archives. Not a bad price that LF

quoted.

Pink, your comments make me giggle,

We love you here and you are not

ever alone or old to us, I understand

the family part so some of us will keep

each other company  here and we will

get through it again. A big hug to you.

Good morning Melissa

I think everybody in the whole world goes thru a stage,,when the seasons change,,in summer i love getting up very early and seeing the sun rise,,hearing our water falls and getting in my gardens for the day,,,so when fall comes,,its different cause its dark out early in the morning and all the flowers are gone,,so I feel a little sad,,UNTIL the first snowfall,,then its beautiful..we can go snowmobiling and I love to collect boughs and make wreaths to hang in my gardens,,so I totally undrstand why Im happy and why Im sad, Make sense ??Time is on my side..The frost has nipped my leaves on the clock..beauty...

In my case though, I don't understand why it happens.  It's random timing and some days are ok while others are not.  There are no things that make me gloomy or sad; it just happens for no reason.

hi 

 i was just reading about the mood light, here they also sell day light  bulbs there a blue in colour bulb that do a very sim thing. i dont know if they do them there  but if they do there worth a try before u spend out on a pretty expensive light and it will give you a idea if the mood lights will work  for you. ]

hugssssssss aj 

I decided I'm going to let it pass...hoping it doesn't last long.  Does sunlight do the same thing as a light board?

Melissa.
