Guest guest Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 It's that time of year again. I've struggled with " winter blues " since I was a child, and I feel it coming on more intensely than usual. I think that's because I'm more aware of my body and emotions, but I'm having a hard time dealing with the low energy and enthusiasm, cravings, sadness, etc. I've done very well with IE this year and I actually reached my natural weight. I thought I'd gotten a good handle on things, but now all I feel like doing is eating and sleeping. I'm an artist and a writer, I usually love taking walks and doing yoga, but I'm finding that I'm not as interested in the things I love lately. I'm more drawn to reading and watching every episode of Fraggle Rock again, and I fully intend to let myself indulge in these comforts, but I don't want to be a vegetable for the next six months. My stomach feels bloated and heavy from eating more than I need to and I've been sleeping more. I'm reading about nutrients that should help, and I'm thinking of getting a light box. I've tried anti-depressants in the past and I really don't want to go down that road again. Does anyone else struggle with winter blues? Do you have any advice?
