SADD disorder is kicking in for me again... I deal with this every year. I need to fight back but it keeps getting more difficult. All I do is work and come home...and STRUGGLE with it all. This must be in the turf of aging.
I've lost way too many family memebers and it still eats away at me. The holidays are sooo rough for many, including myself.

I don't even know if I will have that party... I want to!!! BUT my energy and spirit are going down the tubes...fast!

BLB, hang in there, we're here for you, and this time of year gets alot of people. Getting sick sure makes it alot worse, I was in a really dark place all the last week til 2 days ago.
Have you tried supplements? I know my hormones did quite a number on me a couple years ago, so I got something to keep them in check, what a big difference it made, but some days are still a struggle.
Holidays are especially rough. my own life nightmare still haunts me from now til after the new year, and I try to put up quite a fight to hold it at bay but thanks to in law issues, it won the other day after a phone call that set me off so bad I was inconsolable for almost 1/2 hour... ridiculous... you're not alone girl, I promise!!

feel free to email/vent to me anytime, lizardmom@jtirregulars.com
hang in there :)

aww thanks,lizardmom! I want to have holidays, but it has never been the same since my son and my dad died both within the same year.
Both way too young. Life goes on.

BLB, So sorry to hear about your dad and your son. Losing those you love is so hard. You are right, life goes on, but there is usually never a day you don't think about them.

BLB, I know what you are talking about. I have lost my dad and the holidays coming up are his favorite. It is hard for me too, but having the friends on here helps a lot. We are all here for you when you need to talk.

Thanks to all those who spoke to me... it helps to feel the good spirit that comes from many of you!
We all have to keep trying and plugging along... there is some purpose here on earth that we must fulfill! There really is! That makes us go on instead of giving up
when there are such hard knocks in our lives.
It would be the best if everyone could feel happiness and love...there are so many unfortunate ones who have nobody.

I used to set places for them at holiday meals, even tho they are gone from this earthly existance. The universe takes...and then, somehow, IT GIVES BACK! My grandaughter was born on the same day as my deceased son was born (years later)! I took that as a true sign that his spirit lives
on.

The holidays are bittersweet. I have been upset that my 2 favorite people were taken from me suddenly in an 11 month time span.

I am convinced that my Dad went to find my son with his own death!

BLB, I've been diagnosed with SADD, too. My psychiatrist said I use the computer monitor as a "sun" to soak in the light. Bad eyes, so I have to get close to the monitor.

Why Not has talked about her trouble with SADD before. I think she has one of those lights to help with it.

Unrelated: the number of spam comments has risen dramatically. Almost none get through the filter, but we're getting about 100 spam posts a day.

It is a common problem here I guess...and then no vitamin D
anymore. Had critically low levels on that last year, too.

Thank you filter, and thank you sheriff for keeping us clean. Makes me want to go read A Clean Well Lighted Place by E. Hemmingway.
