How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Anxious and wired at the moment. My body is saying avoid everything, take the day off, hide under the covers, forget all of it forever. But I have to do keep up or the anxiety will get worse. Got a few meetings and calls online, I normally feel better once I get going, and much better when I log off for the day.... At least just today to get through then it's weekend.
The weather and darkness are bringing all the negativity and tiredness out. This dramatic change is worrying the husband so bad, he wants to put daylight lamps all over the house. :p Problem is, I look through the windows from the moment I wake up, that's where the energy is "supposed" to come from. My daylight lamp is far from enough. 
Amazed. The universe actually did me a favour for a change instead of being as difficult as possible. I was out doing errands and gone in multiple shops, looked around for a mask for my halloween fancy dress running group. All I could find was Christmas stuff. I had to go in Aladdin's cave (as my mother used to call it) - one of those independent discount shops selling everything from sweets to hammers to washing liquid.... Anyway, I'd already looked in there and couldn't find anything and had totally given up. Then this bloke came in and said "Halloween stuff?" to the guy at the till and he pointed to a small unlabelled section at the bottom of a row of shelves.... I spotted a Guido Fawkes mask and thought that'll do me, I'll go as an anti-establishment anonymous hacker type.... very fitting 😂 Not sure how I'll run in a mask, but I am at least equipped with one to join in the fun! Would never have got it if that bloke hadn't come in just then (I generally don't bother asking shop staff unless I REALLY want something lol). Also got some low calorie chocs.
Glad it's Friday. Am going to try to have a more relaxed weekend than last week. Last week was when I noticed more issues with the roof and it caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. I got someone out, they said they're going to do it, but no sign of it yet... But I don't really want to see any more problems so I'll try not to look up when I go out/in! I really need some complete downtime this weekend, lots of binge watching and hopefully dozing on the sofa.
I feel pleased. I had a lovely 🎃evening. It was a perfect autumn evening. I sat on the front steps with my bowl of candy for trick or treaters. It was steady with families, friends, giggles and smiles. also-
Minions, Harry Potter’s, Spider-Man, scary dudes, victims, ninjas, race car drivers, cookie monsters, princesses, dinosaurs…. So cute!
I gave out about 10 pounds of candy plus about 50 bags of granola bits & rice crispy treats.
One of my neighbors has a (free) maze in their front yard. A Local teen drama club provides scares & fun. It is their 4th year.
Evening Highlights:
🦋little green butterfly —she bounced, floated and giggled with pure happiness. she was the sweetest.
📣 overheard “we are the Griswold Family Halloween”. Lolol
😃 the reaction when you say “take a couple extra - you are older (or taller)”
-my thank you for them making fun, not mischief.
I may not always be able to do this. But I’ll enjoy it while I can.

@FlamingoWrangler I'd definitely circle back to your house for seconds of all that chocolate!
Glad you had a great night, too!

You may already have decided to do or not do meds, if so, ignore my rambling.
Hope you find a path to feeling better soon.
I feel like something is physically wrong with me. I’m now feeling the nausea that has been coming on in the evening by late morning.
Maybe I’m eating something that is mildly toxic. It’s definitely not an allergy because there’s no anaphylaxis. Nevertheless, I feel like hell right now. Since my symptoms appear to be focused around my digestive system, I’m suspecting it has something to do with what goes in through my mouth.

I am on antidepressants all the time, but you are right. Ideally, I think I would be much better with a higher dose in the winter, as some symptoms are typical of depression. Unfortunately for now I have no psychiatrist as we are in the process of moving and getting one in England requires some time and energy. I could probably talk to my GP about it, but it's also a pain to get a simple appointment with them (I have not met him so far, only talked with a nurse(?) on the phone). I don't know, I might eventually, depending on how busy I get. Thank you for your good wishes. 
I had a strange episode like that about 6 months ago @LumberJack . I think gastro stuff goes around a lot more once the weather cools. but, I never got it narrowed down for sure'; one of the guesses was I may have actually been taking too much vitamin D.
In any case, I hate nausea and dizzyness it is an awful feeling and I always wonder if I'm dying when it happens. I hope you get better soon. Drink a lot of water with electrylyte. Healing thoughts to you.
