Well, I hate winter. I have (SAD)and it really sucks.Cause in the wintertime my depression is worse, and my bipolar gets worse also. I find it helpful to journal alot. And if the sun doesnt come out I have a sun lamp that I use. Its ok, but not as good as the sun. I have a hard time sleeping, even though I'm on sleeping medicines. It really sucks. I want to be "normal" in one area of my life and I wish it could be that one. I wish i could take a nap durning the day and still sleep at night. But its not that way. Enough for now.

I know exactly how you feel I am suffering from ptss, major depression not sure yet If I am bi polar but I seem to have all the things that trigger it. I can't sleep at night either, I feel as though I don't have a life because I sleep all day and I'm up all night when everyone is in bed, I feel like I'm dead to the world. I'm on Tradozone which seems to be helping but it's only my second day. I hope you get to feeling better and remember try to smile! I know it's hard but eventually it will get better, pray it helps me sometimes.

SAD is something that impacts me as well, even though I didn't realize until years in my disease of depression. I moved into a condo 3 years ago, only windows on 3 sides, gray walls in the main living area, burgundy in the kitchen, brown in the bathrooms, first thing I did was repaint, bright cheery uplifting colors that made me feel calm and hopeful. I have skylights too which could be my "sunlamp".
Hang in there! Spring is around the corner!
