I know its hardly gone unnoticed by most ppl that this time of year there are more ppl suffering from depression than in spring and summer... due to a having a history of depression myself and then beating it around a year n a half ago i was fortunate to recognise the signs as early as a month ago... at first i tried to keep myself busy by rushing my engagment party to lift my mood n snap myself out of it.. it didnt work n just over a week ago i got this horrible feeling of worthlessness and my mind was wondering to some really scary places which i kept to myself. I knew that there was nothing to be depressed about and this was giving me and overwhelming feeling of guilt... it had to be the weather... so i googled sad (seasonal affective disorder) and i could relate to ever symptom. So i read up on the information and decided to try daylight therapy... (sitting infront of a daylight lamp for 30mins each morning, available on ebay and in maplins for 49.99) and im please to share the news that its starting to work. dont get me wrong i still hate winter n im not bouncing off the walls with excitement but the anxiety, guilty feeling, and feeling of worthlessness have all begun to disappear. im sharing my story to try help others suffering from sad to realise that its ok and its curable. if i had never read up on this there is every chance it could have ruined my whole winter!! If you know anyone feeling depressed please tell them about sad!! And if the symptoms fit then please go see ypur gp asap...... Hope this helps :) xxxxxxxxxx
