who suffers from SAD?

Issue
SAD when the weather changes and it is rainy and dark (in England) does anyone else suffer from this condition and what are your symptoms

Best Tip

I do and I handled it by moving to Florida. If there is more than two days of overcast weather i have difficulty getting out of bed and I feel very unmotivated to do things or do things well. I dont like talking or being around people during this time. It occurs every now and then , but living in florida has drastically reduced it.

Others
I do. General depression that cannot seems to be medicated away.

I take a one-two apporach to it and exercies in the sun whenever I can,

It keeps it at bay
I live in Australia so we pretty much have constant good wheather but in winter if its raining and cold i tend to get a bit depressed.
its normal from what i hear
I used to. It led to depression. Then I found Dr. David Burns' book, "The Feeling Good Handbook". Now, all of my problems are gone.

no. i love the rain-without lightning-because every thing is being cleaned and fresh and the sun isn't making every thing so hot.
I also have SAD, I use a light box for thirty minutes every day when the weather is dark, as it often is in Seattle....that helps alot.
