I don't know what it is, but around this time of year, I always feel like I'm on autopilot. Maybe because all the activities and busyness that come with the fall season slowly drain and suck the energy out of me, leaving me to feel more passive about my surroundings. Which is how I've been feeling lately. My body is still here, doing the normal things that I'm accustomed to, but my mind is in a bit of a wandering state, neither here nor there. Not exactly dead, but certainly not sparkling either. Like it desperately wants to find something that will make it feel alive again, but it's unsure of what. Maybe it's one of those things that will make sense and click once it sees it. And by it, I mean me.
Any tips for getting rid of the pre-winter blues?
i am not a holiday person, so this time of year can be very odd for me. i try to overcome it by getting outside as much as possible and keeping my days busy with activities that i could be doing regardless of the season.

I say get outside for some time alone. It's really easy to be swept into so many different activities this time of year -- which makes it even more important to find time for yourself. That said, I think I'm going to look for a place to go myself tomorrow. Happy Holidays, Linda!
Oh dear. I sometimes feel the same way too. Sometimes it helps to go get a little sun and if sun isn't readily available. I would go to a tanning bed salon and get some Vitamin D there. It helps the blues I think. Don't get enough to get cancer. Just get enough to get warm and energized again!
