I wish I wasn't so sad...

[Randi]

Some people are getting depressed when it's starting to get darker, perhaps that's the reason. I hope you'll feel better soon!

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

T&P, I will definatly have my thyroid checked. That sounds like whats been going on with me.

Randi, I do notice that as winter approaces I get crabbier. Mostly because I HATE the cold!

Again, thanks for the support.

I felt the same way, almost sucidial, until I started taking Sam-E. It's basically a natural supplement . . . a natural anti-anxiety supplement that you can find anyplace that carries vitamins. You might want to look into it. I get mine at Walmart.

That's what I was thinking - it's S.A.D. (Seasonal Affect Disorder).

I have Chromalux lights in all my light fixtures. They are "full spectrum" lights which are the closest thing to natural light. They are brighter and last longer than regular light bulbs. They also are more expensive, but to me it's worth it.

DJ,

Alot of people suffer from SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. It usually happens when the fall and winter come. That's also why bears hybernate.

I get that way too. It does pass, trust me. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better.

They sell lightbulbs at Bed, Bath & Beyond for SAD. It's like plugging in the sun in a lamp. I send my best friend one and she has it in a desk lamp. She loves it and says it works. They're only about $8. It's worth a try!!
