This SAD and daylight savings time is kicking my butt. I’ll be ok one minute and think I’ve escaped it then be down in the dumps the next. I’ve been on the couch the entire day although I’ve had things that had to be done and appointments to keep. I can feel the spiral and it scares me. It’s overwhelming me.

My daughter is struggling a great deal and I’m trying to manage that from here. I had really hoped (and still do) that she has not inherited my mental illness. She’ll see a pdoc in December for diagnosis. It breaks my heart.

I’m going to try to remain positive and do as someone on this forum advised someone else: take it bird by bird. Good advice.

Sending hugs to those that need them.
