The cold, dark and generally depressing winter months have really gotten to me this year. I am so incredibly frustrated with everything. I don't get to see my friends. When I do have time to see them, something comes up about 80 percent of the time that causes plans to change. I haven't seen a few of my friends in a few MONTHS. These are people I used to see a few times a month. Now I'm lucky if I catch them on MSN.

Feeling isolated is really hard to deal with.
