I was thinking the same thing. My joy seems to be fading along with the warmth and the hours of daylight.

Same for me. The last few years have been a bit easier ever since I met my wonderful partner but I can still feel my mood changing as the daylight shortens and the temperature drops. Let's all hang in there together!

I'm with you. I was good until that first snow, but now that the temp has dropped I've been able to feel the sudden shift in myself.

First it was subtle. I even thought it was just the usual down after a trip home. After vacation one tends to need to get used to things. But I was surprised about this immense feeling of wanting to cry all day, then I looked onto the calendar and it was mid september and since then it got worse, I am so tired, down. Cannot get up in the morning, that interferes severely with my work - good that I can make up that time, I also fall asleep on the subway on my way home, I am so tired, cannot even make it home. I just hope it's soon over. I normally suffer between Sept-Dec and last year it normalized then again. I just hope for that. I do acupuncture & qigong and lots of walks outside. I did read that walking outside even in minor daylight would help...let's see.

yes its came alot earlier but knew this was to arrive anytime..i changed my sleep time and taking vitamin d3 1600 mg aday or iu aday if thuis will even help...

yeah i just started feeling it like a week ago... i hope its not as bad as last year *crosses fingers*

what symptoms do some of you feel when this hits you.
I feel head symptoms and like an uncomfortable depressed feeling and almost like dizzzy feeling however more like my compass is 5 degrees off. What drugs work and what do you do. thanks
