At least you have unicorns to be creative with and unicorns are horses and those make me smile. Just wanted to add myself to your long list of friends saying you are not alone... Hi, O;

At least our snow is gone. I really don't know how you manage it, living in the frozen tundra when you are a child of the golden Southwest. You could not have found two places that are more different. I hope spring comes soon. This has been a long, yucky winter for some reason. At least our snow is gone.

You live in Alaska where it is dark and cold for a long time each year - your family is far away and raising a child and trying to have a life are just about impossible. If you weren't in a funk I would think there was something wrong with you. But "The sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun". It's only about 90 days away. Till then keep your chin up and keep punting. Thinking of you and wishing you the best!!!! Good grief omegamom, don’t be hard on yourself about being in a funk.

It's the only thing that can make me smie when I'm in a funk. Hugging a warm critter is helpful, too. Got any snuggly chickens you could bring in the house for a little bit? Or maybe set up some chicken races in the kitchen? I watch “Ferris Buehler’s Day Off”. It’s the only thing that can make me smie when I’m in a funk. Hugging a warm critter is helpful, too.

Every year at this time it happens. But then it got better. The thermometer went up to almost 40 degrees farenheit, I realized we have daylight until almost 5:45 p.m. I know it will be colder tomorrow and we might get more snow, but the moral of this story is contained in the Beatles song, "Here Comes the Sun." I have no secrets, no words of advice, but I've lived in this world longer than you and somehow I know at some point the world looks brighter, and happier when you can go outside without boots, gloves, earmuffs and scarves. And somehow, that makes things better. But, I never want to live in a 12-month round warm climate, which has never made sense, but I like my Northern climate, really.

I cannot take the mood swings and they get worse the older I get. It's on schedule with my cycle each month but it's getting harder and harder to "snap out of" and "deal with." Phhht. Can't snap out of it. Wish I could. So hard to be in a funk when you're a mom. I sympathize completely. I am in the same head space.I’m going to see the DR about some hormone therapy.

Try a combination of yoga and aerobic/strength training. I will echo the sentiments of exercise to help with the funk. Try a combination of yoga and aerobic/strength training.
