Go to a doctor. Could be anything from a thyroid problem to sleep apnea to depression to who knows what else. Don’t worry about them shoving anti-depressants down your throat. Tell them you don’t want them and would rather explore non-chemical therapy. ---

> [@dawn](#): > > How does one de-stress? Ha. LOL idk, punch people in the face, the ones that piss you off. Take a couple says off and go on a little weekend trip or something. Do what you think will relax you, dont worry so much, take everything one day at a time. ---

I go through this every year, usually around early January it starts. It used to be way worse. I’ve found if I keep myself really busy winter goes by easier, so I work all the time. I sleep half the day and stay up all night all the time though, I don’t know why. ---

I work third shift and my body is all messed up, its terrible during winter, I rarely see the sunlight. I have been taking melatonin supplements to help me get to sleep. I don’t take them every night, and they really help me out. I don’t feel groggy when I wake up. You can get them at walgreens or walmart for like 5 bucks. ---

Get a JOB. Get on a normal sleep schedule and go do something outside in the sun when it is out. The more you sit and do nothing, the more your body shuts down. You will likely start to get sick now too. Some people call it Cabin Fever, it is from being inside all day and not moving around enough to burn off the energy your body is storing, it’s almost like it is going into hibernation. ---
