Lol. This my last trip in May this year has been the only time I saw daylight and brightness that extended into night. All my other trips I have always flown into dark gloomy weather which sort of continues all day round. Funny country indeed.
Not a few people in the UK suffer from a mental health condition caused by too much darkness and too little daylight. The condition is aptly called SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) and is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern. One of the treatments for this condition is light therapy – where a special lamp called a light box is used to simulate exposure to sunlight. One of the symptoms of Seasonal affective disorder is decreased sex drive which might explain why a lot of wives in the UK lose interest in sex over time.

SAD is sometimes known as "winter depression" because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter.

Some people with SAD may have symptoms during the summer and feel better during the winter.

Overview - Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern.

SAD is sometimes known as " winter depression " because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter.

Some people with SAD may have symptoms during the summer and feel better during the winter.

Symptoms of SAD

Symptoms of SAD can include:

a persistent low mood
a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities
irritability
feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness
feeling lethargic (lacking in energy) and sleepy during the day
sleeping for longer than normal and finding it hard to get up in the morning
craving carbohydrates and gaining weight
difficulty concentrating
decreased sex drive

For some people, these symptoms can be severe and have a significant impact on their day-to-day activities.

When to see a GP

You should consider seeing the GP if you think you might have SAD and you're struggling to cope.

The GP can carry out an assessment to check your mental health. They may ask you about your mood, lifestyle, eating habits and sleeping patterns, plus any seasonal changes in your thoughts and behaviour.

What causes SAD?

The exact cause of SAD is not fully understood, but it's often linked to reduced exposure to sunlight during the shorter autumn and winter days.

The main theory is that a lack of sunlight might stop a part of the brain called the hypothalamus working properly, which may affect the:

production of melatonin – melatonin is a hormone that makes you feel sleepy; in people with SAD, the body may produce it in higher than normal levels
production of serotonin – serotonin is a hormone that affects your mood, appetite and sleep; a lack of sunlight may lead to lower serotonin levels, which is linked to feelings of depression
body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) – your body uses sunlight to time various important functions, such as when you wake up, so lower light levels during the winter may disrupt your body clock and lead to symptoms of SAD

It's also possible that some people are more vulnerable to SAD as a result of their genes, as some cases appear to run in families.

Treatments for SAD

A range of treatments are available for SAD. The GP will recommend the most suitable treatment programme for you.

The main treatments are:

lifestyle measures – including getting as much natural sunlight as possible, exercising regularly and managing your stress levels
light therapy – where a special lamp called a light box is used to simulate exposure to sunlight
talking therapies – such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or counselling
antidepressant medicine – such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

LordIsaac:
The order is:
White kids—White Women—-White Men—Black Kids (because of the general feeling for children)—-dogs and cats—-Black women (because of the general bias for women)—-then trees/property and every other living and none living things they care about——then Black Men (Unfortunately).
That’s the order of priority, from the highest to the least.
This is very funny cheesy

I'd rather stay in the UK and be single than stay in Nigeria and be in a relationship that is characterized by fakeness and that is hunger-inspired.
Are you relationship in Nigeria hunger inspired? grin, you think relationships in the uk aren't hunger inspired? Once you date q person based on financial benefits that relationship is hunger inspired irrespective of the person's pocket. Financially stable people also date based on hunger inspired.

I’ve noticed that getting the hang of dating in a new place gets easier once you stop trying to force things and just let conversations flow. Back then, I even used an ai roleplay app to practice small talk and get comfortable with different accents and vibes, and it actually helped me loosen up. Little tweaks like that sometimes make real-life chats feel less stiff and more natural.
