Depression

[eclipse]

Naah...you are not alone at all. Every year at this time I go through a hard time as well, I live in New England in the mountains...so the weather really affects me. With the changing light and the falling leaves..it is pretty easy to understand why (intellectually), this time of yaer would bring you rather down...Sorry, I didn't look to see where you are.
After years of dealing with this pain I went to the Dr. and went onto some anti-depressive/anxiety medice. Maybe it is not for everyone...but it has helped me..In a MAJOR way. I am still overly sensitive, nostalgic, emotional...but I can handle it and not feel as overwhelmed.

Some tips from me- don't know if they will help, but they can't hurt.
Light some white candles, listen to happier music (listening to sad stuff just makes you sadder...turn off the TV!. Get dressed up- make up and all even if you are just sitting on the couch. Read a book, scary ones are good-none of that self help crap- Try and go for a walk and just try to feel less "heavy",
try to be a little lighter in all you do. See the silliness of crying over a commercial. I know it is really, really hard but try...and if all else fails, go for help-don't let it get out of your control and overwhelm you- OK?

best wishes on getting through this "Fall" (You know, they call it that for a reason!)
hugs,
