SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

WINTER BLUES 😞

Does anyone else start getting really down in May? As long as I can remember - may is a difficult month for me, long before the Major Depression label. It spirals into slothful living and sleeping the winter away. Even though I love autumn weather, on the inside I just want to go to sleep and bide my time 'till spring comes - when I know i get a burst of energy back. Lots of people suffer SAD, and for some its serious. Its a well documented condition, and in my case compounds existing depression & anxiety, the tipping point. I noticed here on the forums last year that a lot of us struggled to get through winter, even here in mild Australian weather. What, if any are your winter blues symptoms in the winter?

Struggling TodayReally having trouble with negative thoughts today. Not being of value to a single person on earth... makes me wanna go to heaven where i am loved. And pictures of the haters here laughing at my pain reinforcing the neglect & emotional abuse.

Any tips @moderator @Faith-and-Hope @Adge @Maggie @Owlunar @Outlander, anyone. Sorry to be self centred.

God give me strength to keep going 😔😖

@Former-Member I have nothing to offer other than a pic. Hoping momentarily for a smile, if only in your heart. Thinking of you.

Had a chuckle, can relate to all of that. I just turn off now. Need to preserve my own sanity. The saying goes..."you cant choose your relatives,but you can choose your friends".
