"Blue Fog of depression"

It has become a yearly ritual, an unpleasant ordeal
As the days grow shorter, the sun’s light dimmer,
A blue fog of depression settles over me like a net.

Seasonally Affective Depressive Disorder, is debated
By some, that it is not a real condition, that it is all
In our minds.

Depression, of any kind is no joke,
Certainly no laughing matter.
Turning on more lights helps, but to be truly
Effective, they need to be of a specific wavelength,
Difficult to find and expensive to buy.

I know I am not alone in this ordeal, so I share my
Thoughts and experiences to show others who
Are experiencing this as well, that they too,
Are not alone. All we can do is endure, carrying on.

One day at a time my friends, one day at a time.

Hang in there.

There are a lot of things I needed to do today, and it really hasn't been
THAT cold, but I've been cold, I went out in the sunshine briefly
Around midday, did a long postponed chore with some cables on my
PA system, then I came in and went to bed, because I̳'̳m̳ ̳C̳O̳L̳D̳.
Just now, I finally broke down and notched up my heat, it's 70° in here, and
The heat just came on. I'm sitting here in long pants, shoes and socks,
I've got my corset (Umbilical hernia) on over a tee shirt, all that
Under a long sleeve pull over shirt, which is under a long sleeved
Fleece cardigan type sweater, and
