Feeling SAD



So it’s getting to that time of year again. The nights are drawing in, it’s so dark in the mornings, there’s not much bright sunshine.
 
I suffer from SAD; Seasonal Affective Disorder. It’s affected me for quite a few years now but it has only been since last winter that I really believed I had SAD.

It affects me in a number of ways, I feel down, I have no motivation, it is basically depression. It’s thought to be caused by a lower exposure to sunlight over the autumn and winter months.
The main reason I wanted to write about this today is because it’s the reason I haven’t been blogging over the last week or so. I just haven’t felt motivated to blog, and haven’t felt like anything that I blog would be worth reading. I have techniques to make myself feel better but some days I can barely do what I absolutely have to.

Here's some information about SAD if anyone is interested - http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Seasonal-affective-disorder/Pages/Introduction.aspx

I am going to try and blog regularly but if I miss a scheduled blog post you will know why. I hope that’s okay.

I will be back to blogging asap. See you soon!
