Do you have the winter blues?

i did all last winter, its the dark in the mornings and having central heating on and no fresh air that gets me feeling depressed

I bought my husband a SAD light box - It is a bright light that doesn't hurt the eyes, but is said to help relieve the Seasonal Affective Disorder, which I think he suffers from.  They are not cheap, but anything that might help is worth a try. :)

I don't know if I suffer from it or not.  Last year I went through this....any appointments in the morning....No way could I go to them.

This year is much the same although a bit worse. I don't feel like going to anything these days, the other morning my husband let me sleep in and I wakened and all I could think was "I don't want to get out of bed" Very lethargic. It could be the fact that I'm suffering more pain than normal and cant manage it at all. Neither can the consultant

That's my moan for today

Love

I know that feeling @Hileena - the alarm goes, I open one eye and think, 'really?', 'please tell me this is a joke'!  When I do haul myself out, the hangover from the morphine means it takes me a while to be safe enough to take my shower..................  like you say, moan over.

LOL    It's a miserable feeling isn't it? I'm up now...not dressed or showered yet, just drinking my cuppa. Giving the meds time to kick in {I hope}

I've got a long day. Should be a good day if I can get going.  Hairdressers first. I find it very difficult to wash my hair now so as often as possible its a blow dry.   Then there is a "Thank you Volunteers Day" at a very nice hotel.  Not sure what's happening?? They are keeping it fairly secret. Sorry this is the Arthritis Care Branch I volunteer for.  All I know is 10am....coffee......10.30 Team Building exercise  ugghhhh!!! don't like those then there is something??   then lunch and after that until 3pm I haven't a clue.....I know we get goodie bags?? Should be interesting. Peter is taking me and picking me up so at least I don't have to drive.

Tomorrow I was supposed to be volunteering but have cancelled that. Started at 10am, and finish at 4pm and that doesn't count driving there and back  Too long. especially since we are going away with them at 8am Fri morning until Mon night and it takes me ages to pack even for a short time.

Hope your day is good
