Yup it's that dreaded time of year again. Every fall I tell myself that I won't let the short days of the approaching winter affect me,but every winter I fall prey to winter's griping cold fingers.
And so it has begun-right on schedule. After the holidays and all the festivities are over and the days have been shortened for a couple of months I begin to long for the warmth of spring-for longer days of sunshine. It's not just a longing but a need. My body and my mind cannot handle what the winter brings me each year.
I think I am a strong person,that is until mid January and worst still-February approaches. These months catapult me into a dark lonely place. I grow bored yet don't feel like doing anything. I grow tired although I cant sleep. My body aches and I get a chill I cannot rid myself from. My motivation wanes and I beat myself up for feeling this way.
I questioned if I brought this on myself. Did I talk myself into this winter depression yearly? I found the answer to be no. Even when I did not think about it,id then all of sudden realize I was in the throws of a winter depression. Ugh.
Even though the days are shorter they drag on. Every chore that needs to get done seems like so much effort.
O winter why do you hate me so!?
