Seasonal Depression hit me hard, fast and unexpected this year. It comes every fall, but this fall it was late to the party and I hadn't missed it. Apparently it missed me. Thankfully I was better prepared to handle it than I knew. It's been 4 years since I finally understood what was happening to me every time the snow began to fall. The sadness, the hopelessness and the anger.
I've been on a journey to get healthy and loose this weight that is hanging on me. Little did I know it would be a huge dose of medicine to this dark cloud that hovers over my head each winter.
I am feeling better, I am aware and I am staying positive.
Courtney Kendrick writes so much more beautifully than I ever could. Her post today touched my heart in an all to close 'I know how she feels' kind of way.

I just read it and it's lovely. I've never dealt with the blues before, whether it's the baby blues or the winter blues but I'm glad you are feeling better!
I come read this post every time I am feeling the effects of S.A.D. and then I don't feel so alone. :) COME ON SPRING!!!!
