SAD!

[cyberspice]

I seem to suffer severely with SAD. This weather is really getting me down. I feel like I'm on the borders crying all the time. I feel apathetic and I don't want to do anything at all. I'm always so tired when I get in from work that I can't be arsed to go out anywhere. I just want to eat and go to bed. My working life is fine it's just that my personal life isn't going anywhere. It seems to permanently rotate around this house and the people who live in it. I love them all very much but I need a bit more and I don't know what I need. May be tomorrow I can go out walking with the dog somewhere.

At least I've been paid now so I can go out and get lots of beer and chocolate.

Beer and chocolate = good :-)

(Kinda one of the ways I got out of my low period of late!)

Hope you feel better soon...

Well I've got a selection of the Xmythy beers from Sainsbury's, a large white Toblerone (sp?), some Green and Black's Maya Gold and other assorted bars of chocolates. I'm cooking the house a mousakka later. I always feel better when cooking.

Thanks for the good thoughts.

Argh. It's grim right now. Yorkshire seems to be covered in a thick layer of cloud, blocking out the sun. The days are short, so we're all going home in darkness. I don't really suffer from SAD, but even I'm feeling low. I can almost feel the gloomy days sucking the life out of me. Being woken in darkness by a plastic thing bleeping at me is not how humans should be woken up.

What I will suggest is one thing that does help me (slightly). If you can, get out of the office at lunch times and go for a brisk walk. Stare at the sky a lot and try to absorb as many candela as you can.

I do try to but the lately the weather in this part of West Yorkshire has been truely miserable. If it's not been raining it's so grey that you're likely to get any kind of benefits from going out and staring at the sky. In fact, looking from the large window by my desk, it's even more depressing that not knowing what it's like out there. I want a few days of dry, cold weather. I don't mind the cold as long as the sky is blue and the sun is out.

I tried to take advantage of the respite in the damp gloom on Sunday and potter in the garden but it's like a quagmire out there. In this kind of weather it never dries out.
