Seasonal Affective Disorder

<< < (5/7) > >>

Hopalong:
PR, you're right...I'm very sensitive to light -- that's exactly why SAD happens.
My brain just reacts strongly, and hence, my mood. Way better now.

Lighter, you're right...first thing recommended is getting outside asap after
waking up, to soak up MORNING light (thru the retina to the brain). Though
earliest light is best for this I am a slow starter, so it ain't right after dawn.
But I do manage a mile or two with pooch before heading to work.
Helps a ton, and I've been walking pretty regularly for the last year.

Another reason I think I've started feeling better is unrelated to light, but
nutritional/anti-inflammatory. In addition to the deeeeezgusting shakes (a few
mornings a week) I'm taking a new supplement, Zyflamend. I have noticed
way less achiness in joints, etc. I'm going to stick with it. I take it mornings
and evenings. (If you try it, start with one daily, with a full meal and water.)

I hear you, Hops.

It's been good for me to get outside with my furry friend early in the mornings.

WHen I don't, I notice it.  You're right.... it makes a difference.

I'm paying attention to the children right now, but planning self care changes very soon.

On the list will be Zyflamend.  Can you give me just a bit more info on it before I start research please?

Also, DOCK TEA will be on list to cleanse on cellular level for me.  Mindful effort to eat LOTS of leafy greens consistently, which I really love anyway.

Those little baby kale salads make me pretty happy with fresh lime juice, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and pink Himalayan salt...... fresh spinach, and any dark green lettuce.  MMM.

I'm getting over the flu just now.... feel like I'm in a box.  Ears plugged up, allergies with contact lenses.  ::sigh::

I know testimonials aren't scientific evidence, but then again, Big Pharma can't make big bucks off herbs, so I consider a large volume of positive testimonials for some thing...as indicating a skeptical trial is worth it at times.

In my case, the morning soreness/stiffness is way reduced. So I think it's helping.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Hops - Have you ever tried sam-e? I am on my seocnd bottle - started at 200 mg now at 400mg per day. It really does help me alot.  I get to the gym around 6 in the morning and have been doing weight lifting and cardio which also helps me alot.

Not if only I could kick the job search procrastination bug and find a new job.... ugh... seasonal unemployment disorder.....

Ales:
You don't have seasonal work-out-procrastination disorder.  I'm impressed.  Truly.

Hops:

I do feel better, but am exhausted from flushing my R ear out with ear drops and warm water for the last hour.

Whoo... kind of reminds me of my experience with the netti pot; )

::remembering my bemuaws 4yo holding her hand under the meager flow of water trickling out me nose::

You can't snort-laugh and NOT cut off the flow.

::shaking head::
