I too have become depressed as well as exhausted, and had a small breakdown on Dec 3rd. One of my main concerns now is that I am having difficulty sleeping and staying focused. The antidepressants made me sick so can't take them and I am taking sleeping pills as needed. I am slowly feeling better and am planning on going to 3 small quilt retreats in the next few months. If this doesn't perk me up nothing will ... lol!! Christmas was quiet at our home, with only one child we can't expect her to come home for Christmas every year. We did get together for a nice New Years Day family dinner and that was fine with me.<br />I think I'll pop out and pickup some bulbs and plant some for me and my daughter. They are such a pretty flower once they bloom.

I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, too, and being in a light room (any place on the south side of the house; my bedroom or the kitchen) does help, as does all the bright full spectrum lights of my sewing studio. Must try the nap thing!

I suspect much of it is because of the shorter days and the lack of sunshine. I was on medication for years but finally decided to give it up and so far so good. I make sure I take Vit D and if I start feeling really down I add 5-HTP to it and that seems to be enough to get me through the worst of it. February is actually my worst month - wish we could just remove it off the calendar!

Of course with the internet, we don’t have to remember everything. Just have to remember to look it up.<br />I love playing in the kitchen as well. Today I was using my prettiest things. Today being Xmas and all...... You know how we save the best for good. Well heck. These are the good old days, so why not use everything pretty all of the time.<br />Will miss seeing you on Friday. Good luck on you test. NO STROKING.<br />Yes, the hair looks great. You look much lighter and uplifted.<br />Love you.
