Been awake all night,cant sleep,my mind wont close down. Been on the computer for hours,trying to close down the unwanted turmoil in my head. Trying to head off an annoying episode . Think it might be another SADs encounter ,the weather has been so bitterly cold. Last couple of mornings waking with a low level depression,an early warning sign. If we get some sun today I will spend as much time as I can catching as many rays as I can.

Hi
understand the feeling. My mood has dropped after a slight fiddle with my meds, winter, hormones and who knows what. So I’m on edge too. Waiting for equilibrium. It’s not much to expect. I’m not aiming for happy. Just not depressed. I hope your day is better.

Hi @jay2,
It sure can be hard to stay well through the winter time. Catching some rays sounds like a very good idea. Let us know how you go!

Hi outlander, I'm doing well .My kitten and I frolic for 1 hour in the sunshine every day and I'm shinning. Light is also a benefit,alters the cirrcadian pattern, I sleep much better because of it.
