Is that the not liking winter thing? IF it is i'm just the opposite, i'm a misery in the summer and happy as larry in the winter. I'd much rather be cold and have the ability to put on another layer than be too hot and not be able to cool down. Dark nights and gloomy mornings i enjoy too, rather than being woken at stupid o clock as the sun comes up.
So, to conclude, i'm no bloody help to you whatsoever, sorry. |

"following on from previous thread on how do you cheer yourself up, how do you deal with Sad syndrome if you get it..?
I do get it and at times its awful, so what works for you..."
Looking at hot destinations. This year it's really affected me. Don't think it's just psychological either as my vitamin D levels were very low. |

I've yet to manage to successfully stave of the full effect of it. I can start to feel the pull of it as the nights are drawing in.
As much natural light as possible, sunlamps and high dose Vitamin D help, but ultimately I know its a dark shadow within me just waiting to come out.
Hows that for cheery on a Saturday night.

"Is this another made up syndrome by some loony or is ot medically proven?"
Its on the NHS website. Look it up.
Is that good enough for it NOT to be called a 'made up syndrome by some loony'?

I wonder sometimes if I suffer from SAD...? I am very conscious that, at about the age of 35, I started to almost dread the winter and the dark nights really started to depress me - far more than it ever did before.
Even notice it a little at this time of year, as the nights are drawing in even though the days are still (relatively!) sunny...

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends that SAD should be treated in the same way as other types of depression.
This includes using talking treatments, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or medication, such as antidepressants (see below).
Light therapy is also a popular treatment for SAD. There is no strong evidence to support the long-term benefits of using light therapy to treat SAD, although research does suggest that it may have a positive short-term effect.
See the NICE guidance about the treatment and managment of depression in adults. |
