i think i might be feeling sad and or depressed

[La Lioness Priyanka]

i have been shopping a lot lately. i am not a shopper and avoid buying things but in the last couple of weeks i have been shopping away.

i bought clothes, make up, am redoing my kitchen (sounds more than is given my kitchen is the tiniest kitchen ever), just got some products from mario badescu.

sigh.

i dont really feel sad though but this shopping spree is unusual.

1. And you haven't hung out with me in quite a while.

I can understand why that might make you depressed. :P

Seriously though, I miss you. After Thanksgiving I would love to hang out with you. :hug:

I guess I can understand the depression. You've been under a lot of sustained stress for quite a long time, and it's been hitting you from all directions at once. :(

Please hang in there, and know that you can PM me, or better yet, call me at any time.

4. A lot of people get the blues this time of year for various reasons

It's good that you have recognized that a sudden change in behavior might be indicative of some other problem. Just stay in tune with yourself and don't let things get too bad. Don't forget, we are there for you in the mental health forum. You don't have to be a raving lunatic like me to post there. :D

5. SAD?

Seasonal Affective Disorder?

Does shopping give you a bit of a "high"? It's possible that, if it does, you're "self-medicating" for the change in seasons.
