Another SAD sister...       02/23/06 06:19 PM Edit Reply Quote Ravenndark Reged: 11/28/04 Posts: 531 Loc: the internet I have SAD as well, and I seem to go through phases. In December and January I noticed being tired and weepy more often. I got very easily upset and still do. It doesn't help that a lot of things in my life seem to be coming to a head right now...but that's a different story. Like IBS, SAD is really different from person to person. ME, I find I make myself better by completely immersing myself into a completely dark room for a few hours, listening to some nice music, or just sitting and relaxing, and then going out into the rest of the world doing my best to see how light everything is. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. It takes willpower to 'make' yourself happy, and sometimes, as much as I hate to say it, it's soooo not worth the effort. I think a really important thing to remember is: everyone is allowed a crappy day. If your SAD and IBS are both kicking in...don't try to be happy. Wallow if you really want to. I find that holding all the unhappy SAD feelings inside for too long just makes me feel emotionally heavy. Just one day wallowing in sweats and hating the world leaves me able to wake up the next morning a (mostly) normaly person. I've babbled enough I think! I hope this helped, if you can sort advice from babblage. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
