S.A.D. - Seasonal Affective Disorder

Re: S.A.D. - Seasonal Affective Disorder

i feel like that all the tym. but yea more wen its the colder darker days.

funnily enough - I was discussing this the other day - I definitely get it...as a rule, I can't be bothereed to get up at sparrow fart anyway, just to go to work - but when it's dark, it's twice as hard....just wait until it's freezing cold too! That'll learn ya!

I'm def S.A.D.

the weather stinks and its gonna get worse :evil:

Bri has this.........oh no he doesnt he is just SAD

I bet it doesnt make it any easier if your jobs crap, like mine!! I hate getting up, specially in winter.

Only on a Wednesday

another reason for southern puffs to whinge. like yuppie flu.

stop paying really high council tax and being charged for driving into town - then you'll be fine!

used to have a mate who suffered really bad from this had a special light he used to sit in front of each night for about an hr to try make him feel a little better think most folk suffer from it slightly but it can just effect a small percentage a lot more

its getting to me now..

in the back of my head i'm often thinking about it from march onwards how 'mint' it'll be when we hit june/july when its still sunny at 9:30. of course its never 'all that', but cold weather and darkness just generally gets me down.. and its amazing how much difference there was in the weather temperature wise about 3/4 weeks ago - don't you reckon?

late august the nights suddenly start drawing in - fast.

its the gettin up in the mornings im constantly tired n struggle to get up in the mornings, well depressing not having the sun shine in when u open ur curtains and ur having to stick lights on instead

innit.. thinking about it it's only affected me the past 2 years. before that i couldn't care less. these days i always look forward to summer and in my head i make it out to be better than it actually is. when it's here i take it for granted then suddenly it's autumn.

January/February are the worst for me, because christmas and my birthday (2nd jan, 1 week after christmas) are both over and it's still shit weather. snow cheers me up a bit..

snow cheers me up a bit.. [/B][/QUOTE]

Till it melts n turns into slush that gets ur pants, shoes and car minging!!:evil:

I dont like getting up in the mornings anyways so it doesnt bother me.....

No point being depressed.....go out have fun, enjoy urself

that's the thing.. i can't just tell myself to do that i need a way of doing it? things i first see/hear (even dream about) can affect my mood most of the day. no one else notices it, but it's there in my head. even how i'm actually woken up affects me.. any (serious) tips?

i've heard of this... i get it a little... but this year i have not... must be the dodgy shift's im working ATM

here i live in scotland...not exactly the brightest place to live think the dark clouds live above my town lol

i went down to birmingham last month too and it was like 3/4 degrees warmer.. may not sound much but it made the difference in august!

Cant really give any tips but i hate getting up on a morning and going to work.....i could stay in bed be sad/depressed and not go to work meaning id get the sack.

But i get up even though i dont want to, do what i have to do and go to work, then even thought its gonna be dark when i finished at least im finished and going home.....

I know its a bit of a bitch to do this 5 days a week, but at the end of the day i have to, if i dont and let it bother me then it means that i cant do everything that i wanna do, ie go out drinking go see mates buy things you want and all the funner stuff you do in ur spare time.

Fair enough its not nice, but it happens, just gotta look at the positives of what you get out of getting up going to work and not let the crapper things in life bother you.

Why not try getting one of them timer switches for your bedroom light? fair enough its not light outside but at least if u put it to go on at say 6-7 am, then it will be light when you wake up.....
