Feeling blue, in the winter darkness

[fettoken]

Getting depressed by these dark winters, 4 months of darkness >: Staring out through the window at the cityscape, god, feeling sentimental somehow. How do you guys deal with this?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Haven't seen the sun in ages, well, not before i took a sickleave from work.

I say enjoy it, be depressed, curse, complain about things and in general, be a dick.

Hell, if people have the right to be cheerful and ahppy, they sure as hell have the right to be depressed when they are.

Oh and stop listening to sad songs when you're feeling sad! Stupid people.

"Oh i'm feeeling sad, some sad music fits now." No it doesn't! Listen to reggae or some happy go lucky tunes. Jesus...morons.

What?

hard to enjoy something when you're depressed. I had a moderately tough time of it this winter. my advice is: make yourself go outside, and perhaps do something like go to a tanning salon or purchase a sun light like this: Philips HF3461 Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty My mum, and also a mate have one and they claim they're ace.

lol there a CD at the library called "top 100 sad songs" er yeah ok...


i mean im all for different folks and different strokes etc but wtf you talking 'bout willis?? who would want to sit through that??? 100 songs that are guarenteed to make you feel like crap, is it for someone who is far too happy and they go Hmm man i really need to sad up, i know! *ping* I'll listen to this...hide the razor bades Maw i'll be in me room crying and snotting for the next 3.2 hours.

"wow good job son, your happiness offends me"

You are right, i need to make myself do stuff to get my mind off the impeding darkness. I actually have some cash to throw at home light therapy Not a bad idéa.

like go to a tanning salon

Agreed, when I went through a low patch it really did help my mood during the dark months.

Also exercise helps a lot too, 2 to 3 times a week. It helps release happy chemicals in the brain.

Dig up some old cliche blues songs....

sex is great for releasing endorphins in your brain to make you feel better instantly

I'm seriously considering getting one for myself.

Here you go mate.. This always cheers me up

Try getting up before dawn. Works for me (not that i do it by choice). Seeing the sun come up is nice and gets you into awake/upbeat mode.

Classic SADs. Seasonal affective disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would go with an intense light and operate in the light during what would be normal sunny hours during summertime. Excersise is also a good idea, as is chocolate

Sitting here, awaiting the sunrise after 5 hours of sleep....

If i ever meet that special someone, i'm sending her to "EQ Boot Camp of Acting Like A Sensible Woman Type Thing"

It helps in that you have the max duration of daylight, whereas if you only get out of bed at say midday you get less than 1/2 that.

I concur, I would pay good money for any female friend to be tutored in the ways of Ez

EDIT:That shouldnt sound as dodgy as it does!

Socialise. Keep yourself busy. Perhaps copious amounts of masturbation in a public park. Something.
