  Homey,

  I'm glad this has helped you if this could be also your problem. I've had a couple of stiff ones myself after work today. People like yourself and me....like to medicate just to feel good. I don't see anything wrong with feeling good........IF, it doesn't become a major problem for you and others. I too was a pill popper for quite some time (pain meds) They made me feel good and I felt I could function better. I have quit that and moved to "herbal" remedies

  We envy those who can just be straight and feel good without meds. Remember.......everyone has their hangups. It is NO barometer as to what kind of person we are. Many who have these "seemingly' hangups....mearly have a differnt type than others.....it's just that we get shit from others from it.

  Everybody is different.....thank goodness.

  I'm off to take a nap for a couple of hours.

  Gumby: I get the first weird down feelings then, it gets rainy and dark here that time. This year I think all the losses just made it earlier or it could just my mood:D LOL We had great weather more sunny then usual but I still got real housebound and feeling yucky. We bought a treadmill and walking actually gets me in a good mood:D I wish I could grow a garden indoors but I have no room for one right now but hmmmmmmm If I get Thunder to just build......

  SheliaM,

  We also have a treadmill, .... perhaps I should use it everyday. You are right about exercise....it really helps. Sometimes when I get bad.....I don't want to do anything including exercise, but I think a person has to look at it as a must. Tell that big armed thunder, to get off his butt and build you that grow room

  Sheila, I get the same way. As soon as it gets dark earlier here I start feeling down. I guess that would be late October, around Halloween.

  Gumby, does this really bother you? I started a whole topic about this last Winter cause it does get me down. The lack of sunlight gets me. It really affects my mood and definatly not in a positive way. I'm crabby beyond belief and I start crying at the drop of a hat. Talking about how you feel helps! I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to share this Gumby.

  Hi Azzy,

  I'll pretty much share anything. I've never been one to think that sharing a weakness, or having a weakness is something to hide. People like openess of others.......but sometimes others are a little TOO open, and i'm one of those. That can work against you in some cases.

  BTW......did you know it's past your bedtime?
