Winter Blues

I am having the same problem rather severely this year. I am using the computer as a remedy, so to speak. I spend time online when I can, but I work two jobs, so it is not easy to get here. I post at a couple of other sites. I am trying to earn some points and it keeps me more motivated. I am ready for the sun and the warmth, and some days off.

The winter blues or depression actually have a technical term ( learned this in psychology class in high school ) its called Seasonal Affective Disorder. You can research it some more but its caused by being in the dark for long periods of time. The winter months are the darker of the 12... But there is still sunshine out there. 30 minutes a day outside can increase your seratonin levels. =D go outside !!

I'm having a hard time dealing with the winter blues this year too. I think its got alot to do with the fact that its alot colder here, and more snow then I'm use to. I have taken up plastic canvas again and find that for now its working at keeping me occupied. As well as playing on pogo.com and mylot. Normally I would sleep alot of the winter away, but being a mom to a almost 4 year old and 35 pregnant, sleep dont come easy for me :) Hope you get over the winter blues soon!
