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.
its fall where i am, and the days are getting shortter, and i'm beginning to feel its effects on me....
Hang in there .. better days are coming.
I get a closed in feeling when it starts to get darker earlier and I relate - I think.
Maybe getting up earlier would help - the more sun you get the more endorphins your system will produce. Thirty minutes in the sun is supposed to help. Also when I get up early and watch the sun coming up with the quiet at that time - it renews me - maybe it will for you too. Take care.
in scotland yeah we have it bad, the winters are awful and that doesnt help my depression AT ALL. for example right now i can hear the rain on the window and its horribly grey outside...cold too... just DEAD, yeah if a country could be dead, surely it is scotland.
take care. you can buy 'lightboxes' which give you a sort of substitute sunlight.... you can get them online. we have one. i need to use it again. you just like place it in front of you on the table wherever you are e.g working at PC or whatever...
good luck with beating the winter :( xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We are all different I guess and I hope that you keep good and look forward to the Spring.
