Boy, the weather has been especially wet here in Oregon. It hasn't just been rainy it's been dark an gloomy. There was even was even a storm about 3 nights ago that caused power outages to thousands of people. Our light flickered a few times.
I think this is another reason I'm having such a difficult time lately. I got to a bp support group every week and many of the people there were getty SAD earlier this year.

Dobie and Spacecat, which do you have? I'm also going to ask people at the support group I go to tonight which they recommend.
Take care of yourself and I hope some of the suggestions you will get here will help.

I'm depressed but l live in the Pacific northwest where it is known for its amount of rain. This year especially dark and gloomy.
