Vit D always helped me during the winter months

Vitamin D is super important, if you live in northern states and you don’t take supplements you are probably deficient.

It’s normal and happens to a lot of people. I like the close my curtains once it starts to get dark and turn on the lights and lamps so I don’t sleep by 6:30pm. My electricity bill wild tho 😞

Think about what you can't do right now because of the shorter days, then figure out new things to do instead with the time.

OP- where do you live?

Vitamin D - get enough but not too much. I’d suggest examine.com to nail down your dosing. Exercise regularly, eat cleanish, take a walk outside for 10 minutes in the middle of your work day. I hate the lack of sunlight too 😩

Gym membership with classes, yoga, community things. I’m losing my mind because I’m currently on a remote project and go to orange theory in the morning and yoga in the evening. More for socializing at this point

I take a walk around the complex during my lunch break. This part of the country it’s cold but it’s sunny and peaceful, gets my dose for the day

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
