Yesterday, Monday the 16th, has been dubbed "Blue Monday". Many many people, including people without a clinical diagnosis of depression, report that they're feeling very down by the middle of January. I remember feeling that way for years, before my diagnosis. Winter is just a bummer.
Perhaps consider some supplementing with vitamin D and B-complex vitamins?
I'm doing just alright emotionally, but I'm doing battle once again with a messed-up sleep pattern. I do know what these issues are like. I've been working for years to get this straightened out, and I know I do better in the warmer months because it's simply easier to get up, and get out, and get things done, early in the day. More productive days naturally lead to feeling better.
I'm trying to re-form a happy relationship with my exercise bicycle and treadmill, and am also considering getting a light therapy lamp, and doing some light weight lifting. Making my mornings more essential, and something I can look forward to, would be a very excellent thing.
I hope you find the lift that will help you out of this low period. (((hugggggg)))
