thank you. I do know some people who have SAD, but that is not my issue.. my depression is a year round thing, with breaks lasting 1-2weeks at a time. but from Jan-May/June it is particularly difficult - the reason being that a lot of things happened during that time frame a few years ago (08) that were very very hard.. so it's more of a bad time for my PTSD. but the PTSD and depression combined during this time of the year is especially difficult.
