Madz you sound like me at the moment but for different reasons.  I have felt totally crap this last week and have even considered going to the dr's myself.  Wonder if it's the weather.

I have to go away all next week on my own and am dreading it.  I spent most of yesterday in my office at work crying and most of this morning either crying or shouting at Keith.

I think for me it's the last year catching up with me.  It's nearly the anniversary of my first mc.  We would have been having our babies about now from the mc I had in May and then my Nan dieing last month about topped it off.  I have decided to stop charting and formally trying for a baby as the disapointment each month is just a killer.  We have been trying for 16 months now and it's just not happening so I have to face the fact it might never happen.

I try and look at the positive things and Ols does keep me going.  Sometimes life just seems a struggle and now is one of those times.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hey chica....you are tired, the darker days dont help cos it hammers our seratonin, you are by yourself cos hubs is away and lil man being a lil monster at night.  You can only keep yourself going for a little while and then all it takes is something to push you over the edge.

Youve had a lot on your plate over the last few months what with getting married etc and believe it or not the stress from that is unbelieveable and takes a while to adjust to afterwards.

Take a look at what you have and what you have achieved chica.  Give over running round like a headless chicken being here there and everywhere.

Get yourself a hot brew, packet of choccie biccies, chick flick on the telly and jobs done....always a good excuse to bawl your eyes out i find.  Your doing fine birdy.

You can't compare your problems to mine and say they aren't as important of course they are.  Everyones problems are individual and difficult to handle because no one else can go through them for you only you so feeling down and depressed can be very isolating.

My friend at work who you put in touch with the lightbox people that you know is saying it helps her a lot.  Maybe it is something I should consider.  I don't know that I suffer from SAD as such but I do think this time of year can be difficult for anyone as it's cold and dark so much that it stops you going out.  Actually I never feel like going out at this time of year and would be happy to hibernate, next time I am coming back as a bear so I can hibernate.
