I understand about the seasonal thing and keeping busy. Hugs on that one! I remember one year I had it so bad that I started a big project that I knew I couldn't finish before spring. I worked on it every day, though. I made myself a promise that it was okay to ummmm let go of life but not until that project was done. (Yes, I get that bad between the pain and the seasonal stuff.)

A trick that helps get me through - don't laugh, okay? I force myself to brush my hair. Or to put on lip gloss. Or put on earrings. Something that I just don't think I can do that day - I make myself. It has to be for me for feeling pretty. It kind of helps to get the day started, and once I'm started, I can force myself through the rest of the day.

Anyway, I'll be thinking of you and sending hugs.
