| | | Just a little about Justme | Fri Jan 11, 2008 9:25 am by justme | Hi,
I have Seasonal Affective Disorder which can be quite a problem in winter for me, because that's when I slip into my downside. Its a mood disorder, kind of the little sister of bipolar. So imagine your mood changes are pretty regular, manic in summer and depressed in winter - each year, every year and you've pretty much got S.A.D.
Some doctors won't even acknowledge it exists, but I have to tell you from where I sit, its pretty damn real! 3 years ago I moved to another part of the country, which is subtropical. You'd think that would help, but it didn't. I slowly get worse each year and where I live, there's nobody who knows a whole lot about the disorder because its not really an issue for people here. I did have one shrink diagnose it as biological, which helps a little when people tell me I should just pull my self together and get on with it!
So that's me.
Thanks for the forum and a place to chat about this stuff.
Just me.
