I realize it has been a while. I'm sorry for that.
I think it's time to admit that I do have a problem with Seasonal Affective Disorder and I need to address it.
If you're not familiar, Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD) is a type of depression which is directly related to the changes in season and the levels of sunlight a person receives. Symptoms are different for each person ranging from losing interest in activities, having low energy, sleeping problems, difficulty concentrating, feelings of hopelessness or guilt.
I've always had a winter-blues kinda way about myself, but as I've grown older, this issue hits harder. Can you believe the only reason I haven't blogged is because I didn't want to turn on the computer? I mean how low energy can you get?
But it gets pretty bad and has consistently gotten worse. I plan to really get to the root of this problem and figure out a way to fight through from November to April.
Do you have problems with SAD? What do you do to fight it?
