Hi,

Today (Saturday) was awful.
I have been so depressed.

In the evening, I asked Hubby to do some yoga with me.
I feel better after the yoga.
I supposed I should do yoga again Sunday.

Hi Mari I'm so sorry that you are depressed,and feeling emotional pain. I hope that you can get some sleep tonight. These nights are so long at this time. BF:hug::hug::hug:

I am hoping that you will be able to do yoga more often, especially if hubby agrees to do it with you. Do you follow a tape?

Hi,

I am noticing that I am more depressed on the weekends lately -- this is new.

Hubby and I did two yoga two days in a row. We missed it Monday night.
We do not actually "do" it because he does it at a much more advanced level. Instead he sits with me while I do it to a dvd.

I am glad that he is being supportive in this regard.
sorry about the depression on the weekends. I find I do better during the week when I have my job to focus on, I can be overwhelmed with the weekend.

Mari and Bizi

I have the same problem. Its one of the reason's I really miss the
fairs I used to do on Weekends. I had something to keep me busy
that way.

I am working to get my own way through this. It seems to be working.
I have some new contacts.

This has only been the last two weekends.

The depression is usually random and unpredictable -- in both time and depth.

Mari I have been more depressed recently myself. It could be that sunlight situation. It gets dark so early now,and will continue until December the 21st. After the 21st of December the days will get longer slowly.

I don't like the weekends either. I feel more depressed during them. I wonder if there is a word for weekend depression. If there isn't one now,there will be one in the future. BF:hug::hug::hug:

I was looking for a possible name for weekend depression disorder,and could not find a title for it.

I came across something that I have never heard of before. There is a sleep disorder called (DSPD),or Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder.

There is a Wikipedia page on it. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder

Quote:

The syndrome usually develops in early childhood or adolescence.[2] An adolescent version disappears in adolescence or early adulthood; otherwise DSPD is a lifelong condition. Depending on the severity, the symptoms can be managed to a greater or lesser degree, but there is no all-encompassing cure.
Prevalence among adults, equally distributed among women and men, is approximately 0.15%, or 3 in 2000.

Yes, my Sleep Neuro says that I have this. I am glad you pointed it.

But that neuro only sees me two or three times a year.
I can sleep any time of the day or night. The weird problem is that I do not want to sleep at night -- it is so complicated and confusing. I seem to be afraid of sleeping at night. I force myself through the fear and go to sleep eventually -- very very late (about four or five hours before I have to wake up for work.
