Seasonal Affective Disorder!What Is That?
Firstly,I hope every one had a greatChristmas whether with or without seasonal affective disorder.I am still munching on Reindeer Ribs.I was talking to friend the other day,who asked to meet me later that day in downtown Helsinki.I had to think about this and I came to the decisive decision that I was not going to step foot out of the door.I do not know if it is myself getting older, Seasonal Affective Disorder or just plain laziness,but the weather is cold;very cold and the ground is covered in either slush or ice.It changes daily.It is at times like these that I feel more akin to a hibernating bear holed up in Helsinki Finland.There is actually a society and a lot of research been done in to Seasonal Affective Disorder
This Blogger May Have Seasonal Affective Disorder
As I said I do not know whether it is from growing older or seasonal affective disorder,;which I now firmly believe in, but the thought of even venturing out in to the cold arctic lounge of the north on a crisp clear evening brings shock horror to me.I smoke and it is aeven a challenge to decide to stop smoking or peril the journey to the local shop.The darkness has a lot to do withseasonal affective disorder this I know,as the Finnish people keep repeating to me over the years,”Its the Northern Depression”(Seasonal affective Disorder)Well roll on Summer time is what I keep chanting in the depths of my mind.The Finnish people who have lived with these short,dark,cold days and then live in opposite extremes of long,warm and light days are used to this and take it with a pinch of salt.Either that or they are a race that is clinically depressed but un-diagnosed.!I leave that for you to decide
Seasonal Affective Disorder
The Winter cycle and Seasonal Affective Disorder
It must be said that in winter the Finnish people and myself venture out side,only when it is really necessary.Things like food,medicine and pubs are the main pre-occupations.The pubs or local bars serve as a warm respite for some hours from the cold so they can be counted as more of a necessity.I have seen that meeting up with friends in the darkness promotes a form of togetherness.Then again it could have to do with other people staying at home having more common sense.What I am sure of,is it is the most welcoming time of year to visit the Sauna.After a hot sauna the cold just does not seem to matter.Also in the depths of winter people seem to become more isolated,this you will notice as you do not see Finnish people or foreigners hanging around on street corners chatting.The mainstay is to scuttle as fast as you are able from one warm place to the next
The summer cyle and preparing for the next winter
When the summer does arrive many people are to be found relaxing out side,whether in parks,on terraces or on the beaches.Helsinki transforms from a place where people are intent on doing their business as quick as possible in winter to a slow,almost manana style in summer.The after affects of seasonal affective disorder.Many Finnish people will turn to tend their gardens or fix up their country cottages in preparation for the next cold winter to come.Obviously clothing has a lot to do with the seasons,in winter every one seems to wear dark clothing to match the dismal light of the winter surroundings.Where as when summer touches us,people shed most of what they have on or convert to wearing bright apparel.People seem to socialize in a more relaxed way in Summer compared to winter
Wel ,what ever,another Christmas is past and we in Helsinki Finland or as I say The Arctic lounge of the north are on the final down hill leg to Spring and Summer.A farewell to Seasonal Affective Disorder for another 8 months at least

Thank you so much for giving everyone such a wonderful possiblity to read from here. It is usually so useful and also stuffed with a good time for me and my office mates to search your web site nearly 3 times per week to see the new guides you will have. Not to mention, I am just certainly astounded considering the unique tricks you give. Certain 3 tips on this page are indeed the simplest I’ve had.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

I wish to express appreciation to this writer just for bailing me out of this scenario. Because of searching through the world-wide-web and meeting strategies which are not beneficial, I was thinking my life was done. Existing without the answers to the difficulties you have resolved as a result of this short post is a crucial case, as well as ones which might have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I had not come across your web page. Your own personal talents and kindness in touching the whole lot was tremendous. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not discovered such a solution like this. I’m able to now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the skilled and results-oriented guide.
