Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a recognised major depressive disorder; it can range in severity from barely noticeable to completely disabling. If I don't make absolutely sure to go outdoors and exercise, it creeps up on me. Due to our crappy weather, in the last ten days, we've had just a few peeks of sunlight. On super-gloomy days (like today), I put on as many lights as I can; it helps a lot.


Wow everybody has that..

I don't, I'm actually weird and get freaked out if it's sunny for too long a stretch. What can I say- I was raised in the rainy south. I looooove rain! But yeah not *too* long stretches without sun, lol.

I have the same problem as Pete. In Autumn I get totally messed up with everything. Now it's almost Christmas things are turning better again.

Glad to hear that, Yiteng. My SAD lasts from November to early March. I'm OK just as long as I remain aware of my mental state and do preventive actions, such as light therapy or outdoor exercise.
