Definitely not alone OP. I'm in the trenches at the moment too. I spotted some snowdrops poking out of the flowerbeds today though and that gave me the smallest twinge of hope.

Maybe supplement your Vit D for a couple of weeks?

It's worth a shot - I tend to supplement mine during the winter months especially.

Make sure you're opening curtains (and windows when appropriate) to separate your days/night light levels. I know it's sometimes tempting to just keep them shut.

Also 1 thing I'm really focussing on at the moment is making sure I 'move my body, with intention - for 30+ mins every day'. This could be a walk to the shop, instead of driving. Or an online Yoga workout in your lounge. I've stuck to it for 22 days so far and it's giving me a little challenge to focus on.

I've had it for 20 years. (Mr)

A sad light helps. Grab as much natural daylight as possible 9 to 5 here .

Keep busy .

If you are really low A trip to the doctors may help

Hope this helps

Good news February soon the worst is over and spring is on its way.

I don't normally get it but recently, it feels like it's just been grey. Like not even sunny and cold, but grey throughout. I hope you're ok, OP and manage to find ways around it!

Vitamin D supplements and plenty of sunlight. Also, hugs, if you know someone or some people who like hugging.

This is definitely the SAD season for me because, it's also the season of goodwill to all tax inspectors when the returns and payments have to be in by the end of the month.

I've taken Vit D this year and it's the first winter I've had without an illness/bug/cold/flu for as far back as I can remember.

I hear you about the dog. I had to have mine put down 6 months ago - never easy.....in fact - heartbreaking

Get some marmite down you, every morning on toast. Packed with B vitamins which help the nervous system etc. People say it's horrible etc...it's not once you get used to it.

Take along with your vitamin D.

Like others have mentioned, I use a SAD lamp and it definitely works for me. Wishing all you lovely people well during these dark dull days! TC.

How coincidental...I've been feeling a little lack lustre the past week...and it was only yesterday I realised it could be SAD...it totally slipped my mind.

Sending everyone positive, vibrant vibes!

Good news is, we get an extra 2mins of sunlight per day here forth

It’s a horrible decision to make and watching my to youngest kids break their heart because they know he won’t be here much longer is soul destroying

Fixed it.

We're spending three months in the sunshine and warmth of India.
