Seasonal Affective Disorder Support Group

Hi I'm Silver and I just joined this group because I too have SAD. I've always struggled with it but wasn't diagnosed until a year ago.

"My SAD looks kind of like a leaf floating off of a tree branch in the middle of a snow storm. Everything is quiet until the snap and then down floats the leaf swirling back and forth until it comes to a stop but the world's still screaming. I smile because it's the first real snow storm of the year and because it makes me feel young. Only 5 mins later I feel trapped in a snow globe, the glass oily with streaks from fingers, the last few pieces of white gravel swirling to a stop. All the time I imagine it's really a magic 8 ball glittering with my emotions, "Try again later" it says, Because the sky is still cloudy and the clouds are all still grey. It's cold and I feel again like the world's gone dead."

I hope this isn't too much poetry and prose that no one gets it. In short SAD for me is always changing and the emotions I feel are guided by that.
