Seasonal Affective Disorder

[ScareCrowAKA]

I use to feel this when I was younger. I would gain about 30lbs every winter and never feel like getting out of bed. However, not so much for the last couple of years. I don't know if I grew out of it or if its do to my weekly routine... of working rotating 12hr shifts Days/Eves/Nights, lifting weights for 2 hours 2 times a week, and drinking energy drinks all day long everyday.

How sick is the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, I think that's just off the meter. I think Australia is on the bottom one.. San Diego is Tropical enough but I'm staying with my parents for awhile. Miss the board short beached winters.

yup cant help how we feel ....or Can we...i like this...being proactive is key ...there are no problems only solutions yet to be recognized.... adding to energy drinks and excersize..... this is a great time for cleaning ..screw spring, u can go out and have fun in spring, now is the best time to clean out clothes you are not wearing anymore ...organizing your kitchen and closets...havent used it in a year? get it out of your life... while you are sorting trash/sell/donate to these items ....go ahead and price the items for your spring yard/garage sale before boxing them...
turn that frown upside down! get up! nip that SAD in the butt!

I would rather not wait, I can't wait to be back in San Diego.. It is unacceptable for me to live in this type of climate for a long period of time. I do not do well in the Siberian winds. They say the sun is healthy for the body and mind. Something to think about other than the diagnosis. It surely affects me.
