Kidogo, what a great read. Thanks. I love chocolate and firmly believe that it should be a required treatment with a doctor's prescription for all women.

I'll never give up chocolate. That would be cruel and inhumane.

Perhaps you are suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think it starts about now and maybe earlier up north. I've not been depressed, but I definitely have less energy the last few weeks.
I'm saying a prayer for light to come into your life and your heart. smile

Smile, I'm pretty sure that's what this is...I used to get seriously affected by SAD, but haven't noticed it over the past 4-5 years (probably because I was clinically depressed and chronically fatigued for so long, so the SAD made no difference!)

But after being depression-free for the past year or so, I'm really noticing the SAD more this month, despite taking walks outside most days. I'm not too concerned...knowing what it is is half the battle. And this is the first time in my life that I've had SAD but haven't had to worry about going to work, so it's much easier to cope with when I can move at my own pace. And eat chocolate whenever I want to.

Move at your own pace!! My life has changed so much for the better now that I move at my own pace. No more stress with other people's schedules or needs.

And, of course one of the most important food groups - CHOCOLATE.

Vicki, you have also hit on an important aspect of dealing with depression: those hectic schedules that many people adhere to. If you are not getting enough rest and have a stressful event happen in your life it can affect you much more so than if your life is a bit less hectic. It's called burning the candle at both ends.

A night out for chocolate or a fudge sundae sounds perfect! [Big Grin] [Razz] [Wink]

Would somebody pl-e-a-s-e pass the chocolate?

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you like that. I think I must have stepped into the twilight zone this morning. What a day this has been. I've had nothing but problems with men all day long. I swear my husband and his best friend are the two most insecure men I have ever met in my life! And I had to deal with both of them at the same time. They got me so upset I had to go see a girlfriend and vent for a whole hour. Ooooooh! Sometimes I wonder why I put up with either one of them.

But my girlfriend down the street still loves me. My landlady thinks I'm her best tenant. The dog down the street is wondering why I didn't stop to pet her and tell her how beautiful she is. The girls on the corner were totally confused as to why on earth I was walking without my shopping cart and with no clear destination in mind.."what do you mean you're just out for a walk?" I'm so predictable. Everyone relies on me for so much and all it took was one of 'those days' to upset an innocent dog and 2 little girls.
Whew! Now that I've let off a little steam....and my husband went to bed feeling like he needs to be Real Nice to me now....I think I can actually get some work done.
Thanks for listening. I'm glad you are here...it helps me more than you know.
Oh! Glad you liked the Chocolate.
