Stress, Anxiety.

[SparklyKid]

The older I get the less I like winter. I think I am suffering from the SAD syndrome.
Had a very sleepless night feeling anxious and butterflies in stomach. One or two things next few weeks not particularly looking forward to.

Just wondering if there are any herbal products which may help.

Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Getting outdoors as much as possible helps, walking can be a meditative process

Tell me about it - why did Mother Nature exclude humans when she invented hibernation ?

[SparklyKid]

Will do Row,cheers.

I agree with rowan. Get yourself out and walking. Take deep breaths, in the nose, out the mouth. I have had a lot of stress these last few years and always find a long walk, somewhere pleasant, helps a lot.

[Cloverjo]

Yes, get out and walk, even if you feel like hibernating under a huge duvet til March. Can't really add more to what others have said. SJW can help a bit, apparently.

Stress, anxiety!
And your only problem is winter?

Wait until you have some real issues.

Smoke some pot, that's herbal;-/

[murraymints]

OZ !! you're a naughty wee wombat !! ;0)

[Cloverjo]

No, ozzy! That can make it worse in some people.

[SparklyKid]

This only started a few weeks ago, first time ever.

[1ozzy]

Guilty as charged, M'Lady

Mental health issues have plagued myself all my life, but, there be some humour to be found, somewhere;-/

[1ozzy]

Certainly can Clover.

A tongue in cheek offering from myself.
