I have to say that yesterday was a very hard day for me to deal with! Monday I went home a bit early from work, and Sunday was a day at home after a visit to the inlaws, but yesterday it really hit me! Turning the clocks and gaining an hour has drowned me in darkness!! I know that sounds a bit over the top but it was so sudden.
To start getting dark at 4:15 just seems crazy! I walked home and it was dark, not pitch black, but dark!! Thank goodness for street lamps. I got home at 5:15pm and it was night. How depressing, and that's what it's doing, I feel depressed. I just feel down thinking my bus has to turn on the inside lights and I sit on it watching it get darker, then knowing I have to walk home in it when only a few days ago it was light and sunny. Then I think about that it will only get darker earlier and earlier and that all winter I'll be lucky to see the sun! Goodness!!
I feel like I'm working myself up but it is so sudden and doesn't feel right. It's throwing me off and I miss the sun in the evening. I am sure it never got dark this early on in the year in the US. Didn't we decide to not turn the clocks back so early? I wish the UK would decide that too.
Just could use some coping stories, support, or advice. Thanks! x
