Winter Blues.
| Mon, 02-23-2004 - 9:41am |
Hi everyone,
I am definitely feeling those terrible winter blues. I cant seem to get out of this depressed rut I`m in. I am so sick of the cold miserable days....I`m sure many of you feel the same - what can I do?!
So, does anyone out there have a suggestion of how I can capture a summery feeling in this dead of winter?! Travel is not an option ... can`t get the time off work.
Thanks
Courtney

Something that always helps me is to go for a walk, no matter how cold it is or how long the walk, in the sun. Now, of course the sun has to actually shine for that! But when it does come out, go for a walk. Do not wear sunglasses if you can, because the sun shining into your eyes is what helps alleviate feelings of depression. I learned this from a mental health worker that I used to work with. You can also try to find someone with a... crap what is that called now. It's a really bright light that you sit in front of and let shine into your eyes at a certain angle. It is used for Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Hope you are feeling better soon!
Take care
Pamela
