Over the past few weeks I have been feeling intensely bad. I thought it was a particularly long bout of PMS but PMS is supposed to end once you get your period, this didn't. I usually start feeling crappy around this time of year but I have been told that most people experience some mood fluctuactions as winter approaches. If this is the case then, what differentiates SAD from a "normal" mood drop in october. I have been having this problem since high school : Around october, I can't do my school work, my mind gets blurry, I cry for no reason, I have trouble both falling asleep and getting up in the morning.
I have problems with mood-instability in general but this is off-the-scale in terms of duration and intensity of bad mood compared to what I usually have to deal with. Can anybody relate to this? Thank you.
