Just sitting there feeling miserable is an awful way to spend a whole season. When did you realize that SAD was an issue for you? @Tom

I am glad to hear that you are taking positive action to manage the “winter blues”. Just sitting there feeling miserable is an awful way to spend a whole season.

When did you realize that SAD was an issue for you?

I am struggling with a touch of SAD at the moment, myself. The best thing that I have found to help me is to try and distract myself. Keep working or playing, or relating with others. I find that if I wallow in my mood (when it is mostly daylight affected) then it intensifies. This is one of the only times that I try to ignore my emotions. If I give them the back seat, I find that sooner or later I will adjust and the new daylight hours won't seem so bad after all. Thanks Tom Hi Quint
