The winter holidays are always my very least favorite time of year. Mostly because of the disintegration and dysfunctionality of my family, but also to a lot of other issues. I hate the cold weather, and I despise snow. (Shaddup, Sausage.) I am one of those folks who don't react well if there isn't enough daylight - even the really dreary months in spring and fall can get me feeling "down".
Then there is the whole holiday thing, which feeds back into the family thing. Sort of a snowball effect there. Things aren't as dire feeling as they were a week or so ago, but I'm still feeling pretty crummy.
And so I decided to give myself an early
In the meanwhile, thank you to Peacechick Mary for the SAMe advice, between that and a slight increase in the St. John's Wort, I seem to be feeling closer to myself.
Oh... Leandra.... I got your birthday present here.... *dangles present from a distance* hehehehehehe

Bah. I replied then it insisted I log in and it dumped my reply. *sigh*
I am still waiting for one of your pressies. Ticks me off since it was mailed a week and a half ago. They must be sending on the back of a dilapidated turtle.
I have been taking SAM-e for about three weeks now and it does seem to be working. I tried St. John's wort a while back and didn't get all that much in the way of a response. Then again, I'm not sure what normal feels like anyway.
Today I am piecing together potholders. I'm making 8 of them to give to various people for Christmas.
SAMe doesn't work for everyone, but you may have to increase the dosage (up to 13 a day) just to get the brain chemistry balanced again. Also, Vitex, also called Chaste Berry is super excellent for women as it helps balance the hormonal thing and gives a mental clarity boost. It is also very inexpensive. Follow the directions for start up.
Stupid stuff? Hey, we gotta go with what is in our brains. :-)
