Hi there everyone.
My anxiety levels are going up already at the moment as it feels like the nights are drawing in already. I am claustrophobic, and the only way I can describe my feelings in the winter with the dark days and nights, is the same feelings I get when I'm feeling claustrophic. Everything is closing in on me. It's horrible.
Hello Eileen
Great question I'm glad that you came up with this I hope it brings more interaction in the members.
So I got the honnors of answering first
Well for me being from Canada I admit that after a long winter my moods are not what I would like them to be, the lack of sunlight (short days) and the cold is getting to me as I age.
I live in the country so exercise is part of the daily chores, cutting wood and animals to feed so I have a healthy routine.
This year tough as been harder I was waiting on the spring to enjoy the sun but it seems that mother nature as decided otherwise, its been raining and raining...did I mention rain.
So here we are almost at the begining of august and were still waiting on a summer its ridiculous, come to think about it I think that the fact of having no summer up here affects me more that the winter we just went rough or so it seem's.
Like the man use to say I dont need no weither man to know wich way the wind blows.
