Yes...SAD. Also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. As the temperatures here in the Midwest once again dip below zero (-38 "real feel" anyone?), I am really wondering if I can diagnose myself with this disorder. I HATE winter in the worst way. I hate the cold, the snow, the wind, all of it!
The start of winter is great. I'm loving the transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and looking forward to more quality family time and days off work. Then, New Year's Day has passed, and all I have to look forward to is putting my damn winter coat away and busting out my insanely large sandal collection! After the holidays, winter is pointless.
I get so utterly pissy from January through mid-March that I'm surprised my husband hasn't duct taped my mouth shut yet! Poor guy. I am irritable, anxious, depressed, and even MAD about the current state of the weather. I am a snow-phobic, as my hour long commute is no bueno in the snow. And, I'm super unhappy about wasting vacation days holed up in my house because it's too dangerous to drive to work!
Self diagnosis may seem a little over dramatic, but it seems fitting here. Hubby and I have a busy weekend ahead, but I have a Birchbox/ipsy related post coming at you soon!
Stay warm, y'all!
Sorry to hate winter so much...glad you are posting more frequently....love to read your posts.
ReplyDeleteThank ya! I've got the winter blues for sure! :0(
ReplyDeleteI wasn't too impressed with my Ipsy box...still loving the Birchbox though. I'll give ipsy another month or two to impress me. Love you!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't love my ipsy too much either. Still thinking it will work out, just need to tweak my profile a little maybe!
