Seasonal affective disorder
16 June 2009I spent a month in Springtime and a few days in Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Than I come back to the Southern Hemisphere to the darkest days of Winter.
I think that quite possibly I’m affected by Seasonal affective disorder. I’ve not been all that all happy this last week.
At first I had a cold so that wasn’t helping, but that’s cleared up and it’s no better.
I’m unhappy at home, unhappy at work. I feel lonely and unwanted.
“Symptoms include a lack of energy, difficulty concentrating on completing tasks, and withdrawal from friends, family, and social activities”.
Yep that sounds like how I’m feeling today.
The thing is I felt this way before my holiday too.
Maybe I was just so busy over the four weeks I was away to notice that under the surface the same unhappiness was still there?
Or maybe I was really happy while I was away and it’s the thought of returning to my unhappy work/home/lack of love life in Melbourne that’s got me down, not just the short cold days.
I don’t really know or where to get the answers.
