L Milton Hankins Poet Sijo

Seasonal Depression

I resolve to defeat an inclination to depression~~
     Creepy feelings of doom and gloom come over me uninvited.
          My attitude changes remarkably with the weather.

Tom L Milton Hankins October 26, 2021 at 9:10 AM I think they do help some. It's another gloomy day here. These are the worst kinds of days to cope with. Thanks, Tom.

Gershon Wolf October 25, 2021 at 8:46 PM I'm with you: When it's sunny, I'm smiling. When it's gray day after day, eventually I get there too. (Though I fight it like hell). :) gw L Milton Hankins October 25, 2021 at 8:55 PM Oh, I've fought it for years, but it is pretty overwhelming at times. I even have season lights here by my computer. They help some, it think.
