Yeah, I've noticed that too.....sure glad I'm not the only one, even though I don't wish it on anyone. It's got to be the change of seasons; why else would almost every other BPer I know be going through the same thing?

It's sad---I really love the autumn, it's my second-favorite time of year right after summer, but the loss of light really zaps my brain. I'm just glad I understand that now; I never knew it until this year, when my pdoc explained that most bipolar patients are light-sensitive, and I'm even more so than most, so my brain responds to even the most subtle shifts in the amount and quality of natural light. Great. Thank God for little gadgets like dawn simulators and light boxes.......can't wait to try one!
