Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have been tryin to tackle my depression for the last year or so. I have been feeling really good and not had that many bad days until recently when all i want to do it nothing except sleep, and feel like all my self motivation has gone.
Now the winter is here was thinking if i maybe suffer with SAD but not sure what the symptoms are etc all i know is people get it in winter.
Does anyone suffer with this and have any advice for me??
Thank you

Not entirly sure as that what i'm trying to figure out. but think it is because in the winter you dont have the sun and that causes you to have low seratonin levels.

this is going to sound really stupid, but people that suffer from light deprivation in the winter time can benefit from tanning. Yup, vitaman D. you can get that from tanning and usually will make you feel much better, worth a try iguess.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
