My sister definitely had it and moved as far as she could away from Seattle to my dismay. Was so great having her here for a few years but now she's in sunny California. Hopefully there hasn't been another recent post on Seasonal Affective Disorder here but so many of my friends have it. Some have their house interior painted a certain color, some use light therapy.
The rain this year is not good. Been gray since October I think. Driving me nuts. I'm an excercise junkie and that really helps, but as I've posted in the Meno board. Sleeplessness big time these days.
What is helping besides the socializing at my fitness classes is finally connecting with my friends that I've missed the last few months. We literally lived out of a suitcase from October - December.
Set up two lunches this week, tonight meeting several women friends for dinner, and finally getting together with that couple for dinner. You might have that couple in your life too. The nice people that you send monthly emails to and say..sheesh we need to get together. Well they finally said "pick a date already" and I did.
Anyone else with the winter blues? How do you cope?
