How do you deal with your SAD?

I've gotten pretty much used to it by now. In the summer I was really miserable, not to say now I'm not miserable, but I'm more content with my SAD.

Now I just catch on my books, I watch more old movies, listen to some more symphonies. Basically live like a hermit with art.

How do you do it? And are you miserable most of the time?

i m trying to find some balance, but since i remeber i always been unbalanced.


when i was younger it wasnt miserable at all.

hi.

I hang out at home a lot, I'm okay with the aloneness. I usually hang out with my friend on the weekend (he understands my craziness, but he's MIA right now which is sad )..

When I do go out.. I find as long as there is drinking involved I'm okay, because for me alcohol makes the anxiety go away, and I stop caring.. Now the day after is a different story, I'm a wreck and get scared to sleep in case I DIE! lol.. :lol: I find it pretty much impossible to hang out with people if drinking is not on the menu.. (I sound like an alcoholic.. I'm not I swear >_<)

Yea, anywho!!!!!!! Usually I just hang out at home, find things to do on the internet, sleep in late, go spend money, tidy, watch t.v./movies, play around on photoshop, talk on msn, try and find a job... ya know.. my life sounds so lame. haha. :roll: I wish I was a super social butterfly.. zzz. err. k.

RedRibbons, why's your friend "MIA?" BTW, I wish alcohol helped me. When i drink, i'm more prone to anxiety attacks because what ability i have to suppress and mask my anxiety evaporates. I always have to make sure i'm in a good mood before drinking.

My cousin used to get like that with alcohol. She couldn't drink or she'd have baaaad panic attacks and basically fall apart. She stopped drinking and got a better handle on her anxiety, and now she can drink beer again without much of a problem. It's that fear of losing control, hmm? I fear losing control of my mouth when I drink, and saying something that isn't even true, but has just welled up inside of me for so long (if you read my thread in the ocd section, you'll know what I mean. ), I'm pretty good for the most part though. lol.

Sorry, this is off topic. :?
