Facing the depression head on

[nancytoday]

I didn't want to get out of bed and have another dreary day sitting in my chair with gmail et al, so I lay there trying to figure out how to deal with the empty house and the lonliness. Depression is at the door. I wanted to just stay in bed and sleep the day away

Nancy, having battled depression myself, I sure do know the feeling. It is one of the reasons that I had to leave Bennington VT and move to where it wasn't cold and I could have more sun and walk on the beach. When I first met you, it was through a video of when you were cleaning your house, and it gave me the incentive to do the same. Your honesty made me feel less alone and that is what I love about you. I need to catch up on your videos though- life got a bit hectic sending my boy off to college. I remember talking to you about this when I was dreading him going, and you helped me so much. Hang in there. Your youtube friends send you love.

Thank you so much! I still haven't turned on the camera, but I've been labelling the crabbing videos. I think putting shelves up over the windows would be a nice way to have happy light instead of the dreary sky! At least the rain is coming down the rain chain!

I like what you said here Oceanglory!

This is one of my favorite videos, it always makes me smile!

This video makes me smile. Nice blue apron and hat you have. And I was smiling when you dropped the hat. Later you picked it up but it was difficult to have the hat while dancing. and at the end you took another hat. LOL :-D

I also use to do dance exercising indoors. Yesterday it was snowing and icy on the roads and a hard north wind. Then I was not out on a walk and did dance indoors. But I have no video about this :)

I hope the depression will go away. You wrote that the house was empty. Is not your husband at home?

[nancytoday]

Oh, snowing in Sweden! I thought for a minute you were in North America! Or is it Norway? Denmark?

girls, for those of you going thru some terrible symptoms of S.A.D (seasonal affective disorder) because of the onset of darker environments, skies, and cold, get under some full spectrum light (you can get the bulbs) for atleast ten minutes a day. it will boost your mood. i've been going thru this for several months here in new zealand (we're just leaving winter) and it is horrid. i found that getting my ten minutes of light per day was a boost to my mood, and lifted some of my non motivation. if we leave the depression alone and don't address it, it can get worse. if you're on anti depressants, ask the doctor if you can adjust them during the worst of the depression. xoxoxo rosemary

I'll eventually put them all into playlists so they'll be easy to find, but nothing since May is in a playlist yet...about 1000 of them?
