I have had an on-going problem with depression for years and have been on and off ADs for the best part of 15 years now. I have always put it down to my inability to cope with life tbh, I am something of a stress monster.
Now, I noticed a long time ago that I am bad in April, sometimes May too. I have often wondered why then.
But the last few years I have realised that actually I start going down hill in early January. By March I feel pretty bloody shite, which can then carry on for a good couple of months after that. This is despite already being on ADs too.
So, does this follow a SAD pattern? I always assumed that if you had SAD you would be suffering by November perhaps, not so late on in the season as I seem to.
Thanks for any thoughts or experiences.
