Depression Support Group
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.
It's finally get cold here. I like how it feels and how the cold air fills my lungs. I find it extremely comforting. I can sleep through the day or night, whichever I choose. At night, I can finally make tea. I prefer this custom black tea blend that's very strong. Plus, I can use as much sugar as I want. I can get a rush from these 3-4 cups of tea, which is different from the slower uptake from my Pepsi. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as I can fall sleep shortly after, but that means a reprieve from my life.
It is going down to -30 C or -22F in the next day. I could not breathe today, the air was so cold, and my joints are aching from the cold penetrating them, because my RA is not under control.
I don't use much sugar. Do you think that might help me appreciate 7 months of endless cold and winter.?Then again, maybe if I wasn't so crippled I could look forward to skiing in the Rockies like the rest of my family.
Sorry, it just kind of shocks me that anyone could like the cold, when it is so incredibly hard on my body, soul and mind. Just goes to show that this world has all kinds of people and what is wrong for me, is right for you. Thanks for reminding me of that!
Do you not have much light where you are, that you can sleep any time of day or night? The sun is up at 9am and sets by 4pm. But where my oldest son lives in the NWT, they get two hours of twilight. But he says that is better than summer, when it is light all the time and impossible to sleep.
