[Janet]

I had a friend who, like me, has seasonal depression. Mine doesn't get that bad, well, maybe once in a while, but my friend hung herself in her barn 3 years ago. She had one boy just starting college and one the same age as my son. She was my hairdresser and I miss her terribly.

I do great in the summer time, but boy when winter gets here and I'm shut in, or since winter it stays darker longer, it can be quite difficult if I let it. I don't take meds like my friend did, but prefer to take care of it myself. If and when it becomes too bad for me to handle, then I will seek help with it.
