Thank you all for the replies and encouragement , it really means a lot to me . I have been doing a lot of research on summertime SAD also . I first heard about it about 10 years ago when researching online google . There are a few theories of what causes it from pollen to circadium Rhythm . But the doctors I have spoke to don’t seem to recognise it as an illness. A few years ago they said it is more likely bipolar 2 , but I am not so sure of that . Every year when spring arrives I start to become anxious and loose my sense of humour which then spirals down to unable to leave the house or get out of bed .
I have never taken any benzodiazepines or anything to help , I didn’t really know much about meds . But I am thinking something like that could help me until the sertraline kicks in ?
