Evening folks,
Today has been a short day for me. I had a rough night last night, but Kimmie said that I was up at 4AM doing stuff at my workbench and that I took my meds at 6AM, then I laid back down. Now, here is the kicker, I woke up at 2:45 this afternoon and couldn’t remember any of it. The truth is I can’t remember what I did yesterday. Kimmie had to tell me because I forgot to write it down. What’s really amazing is that Kimmie is remembering what we did throughout the day. I do know why I’m going through this, and my doctor said I should be back to normal by the end of March or early April. He also told me as part of my therapy to write about what I going through and share it, which I have been doing since November, but I haven’t been sharing it on Facebook, just on my blog, I didn’t want you guys thinking I wanted a pity party, which i don’t. (I do remember a great sermon that Ed did a few years back on Pity Party’s). By the way, Kimmie told me that today is the 1st of March and it’s Saturday, I didn’t even realize that. I really understand how Kimmie feels when she can’t remember the past. Well, folks, I know that God has everything under control, and it’s part of His plan for my life, but I wish He would fill me in on it. That’s about it for today, y’all have a blessed evening!

Thank you! I’ve been dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder about 15 years. This is the worst year I’ve had.

You’re welcome. Yes, I do as well. It seems like winter gets longer every year. Spring’s almost here though 🤞

Yes, it does seem that it’s longer every year. I can’t wait for spring. Is there anything you that helps?

I’ve tried SAD lights that seem to help some. I take a vitamin D supplement that also makes me feel a little better. I’ve found forcing myself to spend some time outdoors, especially walks or exercising, to help a lot. Of course, that’s hard to motivate yourself to do, though, when it’s cold, and you’ve got no energy. The greatest help for me is prayer and accepting that I’m likely not going to feel good. The more I sit in it, just wishing it was spring already and thinking about how much I hate winter, the worse it gets. I try to enjoy what I can in the season and remind myself that it’s going to pass. I just can’t try to force myself into feeling better, or I’ll just get frustrated. I don’t like it, but it is what it is. What about you? Have you found anything that helps?

I take vitamin D and Fluoxetine. I try to stay busy with woodworking and Bible study. Can’t go outside when it’s cold due to a back injury, so I’m spend most of the time in the house. I do write and make videos about my faith and my thoughts from my Bible reading. I’m at the point right now that I don’t even want to do that. My doctor said this would be a bad season for me because I had hand and elbow surgery, and that put a damper on my woodworking. I’ll keep you in my prayers, and spring is almost here.

Yeah, that’s extra hard without being able to do a hobby you enjoy. Thanks so much! I’ll keep you in mind as well. I take comfort knowing that at least we have a God who knows the depths of suffering ✝️🙏
