13. Grey is horrible!

Tue Oct 7, 2014, 10:42 PM

Oct 2014

I actually prefer the dark to grey.

As I was telling someone last week, though...I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, and the waning sunshine makes life very difficult in the winter.

The one and only saving grace is the snow, which, on a sunny day, sort of makes up for the lack of sunlight. The days are shorter, but the sunlight can be intense when it reflects off of the snow cover. I try to soak up as much of it as I can.

As winter turns to spring, it all turns around and I get anxiety instead of depression. The time changes really mess with people who have SAD.
