Seasonal Affective Disorder.

They knew what they were doing when they named it this! Winter is definitely my worst season.

DH would love to move to Alaska, and I tell him, no, Hell NO, and FN HELL NO!

Rain or no, it's still pretty out.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. GREEN is pretty - white not so much.

Removed all the window coverings in the coop this morning....
...shoulda done that a couple weeks ago. SMH.
After 2 dark and gloomy days, the sun is out!

Now I have a SAD lamp (that sucker is bright, holy cow) and just a very few minutes a day with it seems to be helping this year.

I'm glad you got the lamp, I have heard they are helpful.

DH would love to move to Alaska, and I tell him, no, Hell NO, and FN HELL NO!

But you would be ecstatic all summer long!

Absolutely.

No, never had another test after the one. I've been on several different antidepressants, and just had to go with what worked, ie, how I felt.

My life got a LOT better when I met my boyfriend-now-husband. A big part of my problem was loneliness, especially right after my mom died.

I've been on fluoxetine for probably 20 years. Maybe it works because I think it works.

My Youngest DD is on fluoxetine and says it works for her

Nah, that's when I'd be eaten alive by mosquitoes!

Good evening everyone!

A freshly brewed pot is on the counter, so help yourselves and enjoy!

Rain or no, it's still pretty out.

What a beautiful sight! @DobieLover

I can't really join the discussion, as the only experience with this kind of drugs I ever had, was having to take a quarter of a Valium tablet to be able to lay very still for a long MRT scan after a car accident more than 30 years ago.
Well, it had a paradoxic effect on me and I was wired up for 3 days in a row, not sleeping and pacing for hours on end, feeling as if my fingers were stuck in an outlet not able to get them out.

Oh--and today I have to make up for taking off yesterday.

Great your looked for answer and found it
