Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Anyone else affected in the last few days?.

Seriously, between the clocks going back & fvcking me up, the poxy wind & rain, the darkness etc... This week I'm about ready to kill someone.

Anyone else finding themselves down, stressed and short tempered these days?.

Bring on the funny fvckers.. The Slasher, Dudess, Pete, Zohan, Dr.B, Boner, William.Shakes, Bonito & Degsy etc.. Make me smile!.

What did the horse say to the man with no arms?
"How're you getting on?"

But yeah, think everyone gets some form of SAD. Thank the Lord I don't live in the north of Scandinavia...

battries not included

meh

Dravokivich

They've alot of problems with that up in Scandinavia...

It's mad how much we actually rely on daylight for sanity and amazing them blokes in Chile were able to get through so long themselves.

Yes.
But then again, i'm like that most days..

Specially the "short" part.

The No. 1 reason I'm glad I don't live in Ireland anymore is the weather. It was 17 degrees here today and people were moaning about the cold, all wrapped up in jackets! I wore a t-shirt walking home tonight

No great mystery. The first bucket they sent down to them contained a poodle and an extra large packet of nurofen.

I got some photos done for a licence the other day, and the first thing the photographer said when he was giving me the prints was "you know what, you look like Roule Moate" and its freakie because I do

In recent years I've been likened to;

Steven Collins (the boxer). Brock Lesnar (the wrestler) and Moate!.

The many faces of Mairt!.

God yes, worst week of the year. I haven't been right since monday.

I'm in two minds as to whether it actually exists but it a bit more than a few days. Here is a link http://apt.rcpsych.org/cgi/reprint/3/6/352.pdf

However, I'm with the ICD-10 on it, as a disorder I don't think it exists, people may experience those symptoms but I think there is something else behind it

No, it's actually cheered me up no end, it now get's darker an hour earlier, so I can egg cars and they can't see me.

Boo ya!

BraziliaNZ

I really dont like winter and short days. I really dont like those who claim to think it's great either, so irritating!

iPlop

I love both tbh.The summer for the long evenings out the back having a bbq and a bottle of wine and the winter just to chill in front of the telly with the fire lighting ,then just melt into the couch.

sollar

I get that every year. Sep & Oct are really nice months in ireland but then in the 3rd week in Oct it all changes quite quickly.

I used to tell myself its only Nov & Dec then christmas breaks the winter and Jan & Feb before we are out the other end. But last year i realised that march is just as s**t as the rest of them the only advantage is it starts getting brighter from 21st Dec. So at least march is bright.

Light a coal fire its one of the few nice things about winter.

You'd wanna change your sig so:p
Not the Darren Fletcher part!

DetectivFoxtrot

I definitely suffer with SAD and have felt it the last few days. It's a pain, especially knowing that the bleakness is gonna get worse and last a good few months.
The worst thing for me is having the lights on all day in the office, or arriving to work when it's dark and leaving work when it's dark - totally depressing....

Kintarō Hattori

I'm not boasting so please don't take it the wrong way but I can't say I'm affected by the change. I'm as chirpy as I normally am. Is anyone else unaffected?

The thing thats p!ssin me off most is the "C" word....Christmas! I feel like i blinked, saw a ray of sunshine for one minute and its back again. WTF?

Oh and the quadrupling of traffic and mental idiots who cant drive in the rain!

afatbollix

Its fooking horrible.. I'm working 7 to 7 I try get out for my break but 1 hour of brightness but its killing me..

Id say today is the first day Ive even had depression I feel like **** and dont want to talk to anyone I'm surprised I dident snap at someone at work and call them a prick..
Today was also the first day Ive felt home sick Ive never been home sick.. Its weird It all has to come at once doesent it..

Even for a guy I just want to crawl under my bed and never come out from under it..

sighhh

Definitely stressed the last few days, ended up putting a pic of my haggardness in the KYN thread haha

Not as bad now, getting used to the dark stuff.

Hope this cheers you up Maki:

A letter from an Irish Boardsie

Dear Makikomi,

Just a few lines to let you know I'm still alive. I'm writing this slowly because I know you can't read fast. You wont know the house when you get home, 'cos we've moved.

Your Father has a lovely new job with 700 men under him - he cuts grass at the cemetery. There was a washing machine at the new house, but it's not working too good. Last week I put in 12 shirts, pulled the chain and I haven't seen them since.

Your sister, Colleen had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out if it's a boy or girl, so I don't know if you're an uncle or aunt.

Your Uncle Mick drowned last week in a vat of Whisky at the Dublin Distillery. His mates tried to save him, but he fought them off bravely. He was cremated and it took four days to put the fire out.

I saw the doctor last week and your Father went with me. Doc put a glass tube in my mouth and told me not to talk for five minuets. Your Father wanted to buy it from him. It only rained twice this week, first for four days the second for three days.

We had a letter from the undertaker. He said if the final payment on your Grandmother's grave wasn't paid in seven days - up she comes.

Your loving Boardsie

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?

What a load of makey-up cock. It's about as real as Bifidus Regularis.

minidazzler

No, actually I am dead happy! Weather is rainy, but I like the rain, been getting laid ALOT the last few weeks due to dating an American, and when I get cold I just crack a beer and sit next to the dryer!

Sh1t is pretty damn good!

Give it a few weeks and there'll only be one serotonin molecule left buzzing around in you brain...that'll teach ya for having too much pleasure!!

Better than the hot sticky humid summer weather so it doesn't bother me.

Aye, I get effected by that too ..

Things you would usually take on the chin, seem overwhelming and soul destroying.

Obviously eating well, no sugar - lots of veg and steak eaten rare will always do wonders for the mood.

Cinema usually cures me also .. but then I am obsessed with films.

Some Fish & Chips and walk along Howth pier.

Buy a homeless person a meal and then go feed the ducks in St Stephen's Green too, usually around 3pm'ish so you can eye up the girls in school uniforms at the same time

Lyric FM, full blast in the car, as drive around the back roads smoking a cigar.

Yeah, I can already pick out the date, she is leaving Just before Xmas! But then I have a back up that I can always call! So, I will still be happy I think!

Love winter. Hate stupid hot sticky hay fevery summer. Working inside all day, this time of year makes it less attractive to be outside.

You're weird

stupidusername

Cheese?!

but ya, it's pretty ****ty how dull everything is when the days get shorter. I'd say it would be MENTAL to be in Iceland or wherever it is for those 6 months that it doesn't get bright (or the other 6 months when it doesn't get dark). Fair interesting to see what would happen though.

Good to see someone's in a good mood anyway.... negativity seems to be the order of the day in 2010! (and 2009.. and 2008 for that matter!)
Happy nut-busting!

Would you say the same to people with depression and bi polar? Not picking, just wondering.

cop on to yourself, 15% of people with depression will commit suicide and having a "manning the **** up" attitude causes a lot of that.
