I'm so depressed and struggle

I was so depressed yesterday, because of the sunlight is getting short.

But I tried to recover and I'll go to work tomorrow morning.

I'm so sorry that you're feeling so depressed. It sounds like you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Have you got a light box, if not you it might be a good idea to invest in one. They're readily available on Amazon and don't have to cost a lot but they do help. You could also have a daily walk especially on a sunny day, that will help brighten your mood. I live with depression and always struggle more in the shorter days of autumn and winter. You don't say if you take any medication for your low mood, if not it might be something to consider, if you're already on medication you might need a seasonal increase during this time. Hope this advice helps you, remember you're not on your own and if you're able to talk to friends and family and let them know how you feel so that they can offer you support x

Thanks for your comment.

I've already tried to walk on and admit to hospital.But still I have this sick.

I'll get the light you recommend.

I have SAD and I know exactly how you feel when the sun isn’t around. Makes an already gloomy mood even worse. I hope you are having a better day today.🤞

I have a light box that I always forget to use. Sig.Other asked if I was using it the other day. I need to start using it. It does help me.

There are lights you can buy that mimic sunlight and are supposed to help. I want to get one! I work nights and see the sun rarely.

Mine is a Verilux Happy Light and I got it on Amazon years ago. I’m sure they still have them. It wasn’t expensive . My doc at the time said it’s best to use it when you wake up from sleep. I hope you find some help

You hang in there. I recently started a private prayer group on Facebook I have it setup where you can anonymously. I will send you the information. I certainly wouldn’t do anything without asking! God bless you and I will pray for you!
