People tell me it's seasonal affective disorder and recommend those special lights, but my problem isn't the lack of light. I am miserable because I can't get any exercise and have no transportation. My only tranportation is a bicycle. The cold also makes me feel generally unmotivated and the sharp winds we get feel like knives being hurled at me. I spend most of the winter and the wet days in the fall, spring and summer lying in bed. I refuse to get up. Countless people suggest activities like reading, TV, joining clubs and the usual pastimes others enjoy, but the developmental disorder I was born with left me without the cognitive and other skills needed to pursue these activities (that's a story in itself). Others tell me to talk to my doctor about antidepressants, but none of them agree with me. They make me sick. The only solution is relocation to a warm, dry climate, but I can't afford that. -Marla Comm Except for the few nice days we get, I am miserable during the October through early April period.
