It is a real thing I get a proper downer from September thru the next few months.

I put weight on too which hasnt helped my state of mind.

Dressing helps when it can occur.

Fingers crossed 2021 will be better all round

SAD is very real but we've passed the solstice so should start getting lighter.

You do realise you could have exercised early in female exercise gear dont you in the dark mornings lol.

It's been hard for some i bet not dressing for that positive influence it gives you and your escapism from your male lives.

Lets hope for a better 2021 for you all.

I definately have SAD only a few months back i was losing 2 stone up early out for a walk / run and in the evening and dieting come dark nights by 1630 im indoors not exercising and eating unheathily back up by work work work and the need to get things done and i definately get depressed from september onwards until light again.

will have to book time away with Esme 20 years wedding anniversaary in May

SAD is no laughing matter and can add to stress and mental wellbeing woes

Get up and out jogging Davina you'll have girls nights out and in in 2021 I'm sure

book something away with Esme to look forward to

I think I do have SAD and this year more so than ever its eat sleep work repeat I have to get up and go jogging again but dark mornings and even finishing work working at home dark evenings really sucks.. No girls night in or out all year and not working from home dressed.. Rubbish year.

you got the winter blues Davina SAD is real i hate dark nights too come home from work in the dark then dont feel like doing anything

Could do with some positive influence at the moment as fed up of work and covid and no time to unwind and the winter blues.. what a difference it makes having freedom to crossdress and how it helps us unwind

That's cool Emma it is a stress buster.. I did a work report on my day off 200 emails and I've only been off 2 days .. I skimed them after i sent my report and wish i hadn't .. and the usual HMRC letter telling me i owe them money again and I've no idea how..

Both a little different from the girl here but shows the stress busting effect of crossdressng.

I know when hes stressed and will sometimes put stuff out for him run him a bath and say bath run go shave there's things on the bed you need to chill out,
