Hibernation

Posted by Bingo Barnes on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 8:01 PM

It seems I'm getting more and more irritable. I'm eating more. I'm sleeping more. There is less and less sunlight during the day. My bear spirit is coming out and I'm doing my best to get out of bed every day. It's time for me to hibernate. I think I was a bear in a previous incarnation. But then again, I could be any other number of hibernating reincarnations.
I've written about it before, but over the last several years I've noticed that I tend to get more depressed in winter. It's called SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder) and I think I've got it. After a winter in Alaska I definitely believe that lack of the sun is a key element in the moods we have.
Over the years I've tried different treatments from full on prescription anti-depressants to homeopathic remedies. I can definitely say that the medical route has worked and the Fruit Loop therapies have not.
So, it may be time to bite the bullet and go see the doctor.
I'm really hoping that the revised health care plan takes care of these issues with our society. Or perhaps they really amp up the drugs in the chemtrails.

I don't think we need drugs in jet engine aerosols, but vitamin D supplements can help somewhat even if only to keep the immune system strong while dealing with the other biochemical aspects of SAD. I don't like the rain which lingers here in Portland much of the year, but I make the most of my seasonal opportunity to hibernate. Hang in there. Brain chemistry altering pharmaceuticals can cause lasting problems, but at least winter goes away every year.
