On the Inside, Looking Out....


Does realizing that you are overly emotional and sensitive make it easier to handle the tears that flow when your family sleeps?

Does the knowledge that the seasons and lack of sunshine are the root cause of your melancholy allow you to forgive yourself the worry you inflict upon your loved ones?

That sunshine is so important. Hugs. January is almost over. There's sun around the corner.

You're not alone, hon. Some days I can barely manage to get dressed. But once I do, and force myself to leave the house, it gets better. I took the girlie skating at an outdoor rink on Monday morning, and it hit me at one point that I was having fun. That I was playing with the winter. And I haven't done that in a long time. It felt good....I just wish I knew how to make the feeling last.

Great article. Sometimes winter can seem sooo long and effect the mood. I always try to look on the positive...like, be thankful even for the cold and snow, but sometimes it is difficult. Just know spring will be here before you know it!

I posted something over on my blog that could help some, or make it worse.... Anyway, I have been reading around and it does seem a lot of people are having that "confined" feeling these days. Me included. I thought of this on the way home today, and thought it would be nice to share.

I went. I read. You rock. Such a great writer you are!

I have been where you are right now. It sucks. But things will get better. Hey-this is what you always tell me, right? NY's winter has been similar to Chicago's, so I completely understand the feelings it can cause. Hoping that tomorrow is a better day for you.

OMG.... I just wrote about this an hour ago. And non of my commenters have caught onto my winter depression. None. Yet. I thought it was apparent from the post.
