Pursuant to previous entry: Since it is September, and therefore going to be fall soon, please be aware that there may be an upswing in the amount of l33 Hates Herself And Wants To Die hereon, as l33 does not do well with fall and does even less well with winter, both of which are pretty emotionally fraught for her. While regrettable, this may not

I'm no expert buuuuuuuuuuut I sense you have SAD.

Actually, I did read a little about it, and I'm not convinced (though the lolmom thinks I have it too); I don't meet the diagnostic criteria (in that I have had major depressive episodes at other times, not just the autumn/winter), and also I have enough problems and don't really want another one XD I wasn't always like this during the fall and winter; it's a fairly recent phenomenon (maybe 5-6 years old).

I don't know; maybe it's just that fall and winter are pretty emotionally fraught for me (several dates that are significant to me, and Christmas is always really horrible for me) and that tends to bring on a little more upset than I might otherwise have.

Why not?? It's fun!! Come join our SAD selves!! :D Membership is free.

My birthday, Christmas, V-day and New year's (mostly Eve) are the worst of the worst for me.

But I don't want to be sad!!! Even if it is free. FREE DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU DON'T WANT IT~

My birthday has gotten better as time has passed, but fall and winter have gotten harder on me, and Christmas is horrible. If it weren't for the awful thing that happened on Christmas, it would probably just be downgraded to "minor annoyance; overcommercialized religious holiday that I don't celebrate".
