does anyone else suffer from it during winter? I know the days are getting longer, but I am dreaming of hot, sunny climes

Am thinking of getting one of those lamps to wake me up gradually in the mornings, I find I get off to a better start if I wake up before the alarm.

""

hope everyone's feeling better now it's sunny!
Hope also the good weather's here to stay!

But as soon as the sun comes out, it's like someone has put my batteries back in!
I read the article and I think the lamps are a great idea - anyone know where to get one from?

"I get it really badly! "

I get really depressed and frustrated, I hate it, roll on summer! (not that it will be that much better in our corner of the world).
I read that it's a real problem in Ireland, because it rains a lot and the wintertime is so dark. Apparently, suicide rates soar between October and April.
It's interesting the effect the weather can have on you!

I leave in Malaga and the sun shining all time, all days, all years. I'm tired, I sweat blood all days of my life. I have a lunch and I'm tired, I feel drowsy, I get depressed because the sun is always in the sky like in the desert. Now I hate the beach too, last summer I never gone to the beach I didn't feel like it. I prefered the rain and a storm because it's never rain in the southern of Spain.

In Italy between people from 18 to 25 years old suicide is the main cause of death. I don't think weather is responsible!

"Me too! "

I get that too! I hate getting out of bed and piling on loads of clothes.
I just haven't got the energy to do ANYTHING when its cold and miserable. Can't wait to see some sunshine!!
