It's spring and I feel so much better about life and myself right now.  I seriously have to bring myself to someone to talk about S.A.D. because I think I have it.  It could also be that I'm almost over the concussions as well,  but the seasonal depression stuff was going on even before the concussions.
When spring comes it feels like I come alive again, only I did not realize how dead I was.  The sudden juxtaposition of my feelings lets me know.  It's like someone lifts a grey veil that I hadn't realized I was wearing and that was affecting all aspects of my life,  and then boom, I remember who I am and what joy feels like. Not that I feel zero happiness all winter,  but it's numbed. I lose touch with my spiritual side, I become full of self doubt and my self esteem takes a dramatic nosedive. Then one day,  I'm back. Back to the real me, or at least the me I like.
Just like that, I start having more to say, to get excited about life and new ideas, and to think I can do so many things I doubted I could before. It feels so much better.
I wonder what I should do? Nothing and look at it like those winters give me empathy for people suffering and make me really appreciate being alive in spring, or get medicated (or find something) so I can try to feel awesome all year round?
Actually I really don't like the idea of being medicated... Third idea, try moving to somewhere warm and convincing all of my friends and family to come too. (Any takers?)

If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.

Hey Melinda just read this. I was in the same position a few years back. Might have a good book or a suggestion for you about that. There is definitely something to do about this :) I'll send you the link to the english version of this book. I guess it could be a good start. I read it 3 years ago, and taking this opportunity of being off work to read it again these days...

Happy to cry... Joan of Arcadia made me cry ... again... It was such an amazing episode. There were so many little things to catch and I prolly missed some. But the whole part how Judith made the guy memorize Hamlet for her (tragedy where leading female dies) and just as he is finished it, she herself dies. And how Joan can always keep a part of Judith with her and just so many things. That show is soo good to me because it is really moving and it makes you think (as well as cry if you are like me). I am happy to cry because I can actually feel something. Experiencing something through a television. Before I was thinking about what it would be like to be someone else with a different kind of life. It just feels like I am not feeling enough right now. I know I am actually experiencing a lot and to use the simile katie did, it is "just like the earth is always moving but we never feel it". But I want to feel it. It's like something is missing. Lately I feel as if I have...

Lethargic... That's the perfect word to describe how I've been feeling. School starts tomorrow. I have to wake up at 7... ugggh. At least I finish at 10:30. After I have to go to the bank to pay my tuition and then pick up my two new pairs of glasses. I'm not even sure if they look nice but I just didn't feel like shopping around anymore. The place with the pair i really liked was closed but where I went I ended up getting two pairs for less then it would have cost for the one. So meehh. One of them is pink tho so that's pretty funky. I'll take a cam pic if I can figure out how to work my cam. That's why i've had this old one up forever, I don't know how to make it jpg after i take it instead of uhhh whatever the other one is. Man I'm bloody tired.

Man i'm so grumpy now. I was going to go to my dancing thingy tonight but I really just feel like crawling under my covers and hiding (and watching the oc) . Bad me, yes I know. I had my stats mid term today. I'm pretty upset about it. I studied so much and did so much work for that test and it was the easiest questions ever. SO much wasted time. Like the questions were things I was already answering in highschool, simple standard deviation and z scores and like mean and median. Ok well some stuff was mildly tougher but still. And the thing is, I totally fucked it up anyways. I knew it all but ok... let's start from the beginning. I was on time to get my bus but it got every fucking red light possible and went SOOO slow that i ended up being 5 minutes late for class. Then i was reading the question and I missed the one had lots of parts so I thought I had so much more time then I actually did. And so I was answering the questions and then realized I had no time and tried t...
