Seasonal Depression

So I thought I was doing good, but apparently I haven't been.  It has been foggy and there has been an inversion in our valley for the past 2 weeks and I hit a wall.  Last Sunday I had a melt down.  I cried all day long.

Luckily I heard from my youngest daughter on Monday.  She is serving a mission in Tallahassee, Florida and she also suffers from seasonal depression.  While on her mission she has had the blessing of working with a companion who's mother is a mental health counselor.  This wonderful woman has put her on some natural herbal supplements that have helped her to overcome this depression.  So through her letter to me and with my being on the computer at the same time we were able to have a conversation where she let me know what she had been doing and what she had been taking.  I was also able to contact this sweet lady and get some information.

So now I am taking these supplements and hopefully they will kick in before too long.  It is snowing today and there is no sun.  But today is a beautiful day and I am grateful.  This week will be busy as I will have the opportunity to watch 2 of my sweet grandchildren and I think that will help.  When I am busy I tend not to be as depressed.  Maybe that is a tender mercy from my Heavenly Father, and that is how I am looking at it.
