Seasonal blah.

I go through this every year. Shit starts dying outsides, the trees turn color, then lose their vibrance and then go bare for a few months, the humidity leaves the air, and the outside doesn't feel the same. Most of the days look blank, one right after another. My days get cut shorter, I get tired.

How many of you are affected by seasonal depression? biggrin
This one's for you.

Well, I'm just starting. Today was particularly bleak here, and the temperature is supposed to plummet to freezing! I feel cold to the very core, and little annoyances today are already mounting up in my head. I almost feel like having a good cry. I get this way after a stretch of rainy days, too.

I always hate treating it with Lexapro.

I actually did have about a two month vacation to FL one winter when I'd pretty well just cracked from school stress and other things. I'll tell you, I came back a changed woman. Then last winter, I was too busy being in love to notice too much. biggrin

Lexapro is an antidepressant that I only do when I really, really need it. And then I go through the process of weaning myself back off of it when I feel like I can cope a little better.

Sometimes during the hot season I get irritable, tired and sometimes depressed. Right now it's the end of the rainy season here and the start of my favourite time of year, cold season. It only gets down to about 14 degrees, so it's just nice and cool. I sleep better and generally feel happier. biggrin

Just after 6am most days. In the cold season maybe an hour later because even though the temperature's not that low, it feels very chilly. I never quite understand that, but sometimes it'll be about 16 degrees, but I'll still have to wear a hoodie or something to bed.

Hot season means basically 34-38 C every day and in this wooden house and upstairs it's definitely over 40 sometimes. dead

wacky indeed

although, I'm like that in the daytime. At night I feel hot and irritable though. Just walking down the street in blazing sunshine I don't sweat much, while Thais seem to sweat a lot. They're scared of the sun though, always saying you'll get sick if you step out in the sunshine or light rain for even a second.

not cooling cream, but lots of whitening cream. They'd never sunbathe either, for fear of getting dark skin rolleyes

men walk around in t-shirts, but pull them up to just over their belly and keep pulling the back up and flapping the tshirt around - it's quite peculiar. That's kind of a hanging around outside in the street in your village thing though, not in the city. I don't know how the people there in suits deal with the heat and humidity with the weather and bustling traffic in Sukhumwit Road and Silom. Wearing a long sleeve shirt and smart trousers for teaching was always bad enough, though I always chose to wear a tie even when I didn't have to because it's looks smarter.

I have seasonal affective disorder. Already all I want to do is sleep and eat all the livelong day.

It can be caused by less sunlight. You can invest in a special light which provides a certain kind of like mimicing the sun...
