By the time I got my stuff put away I wanted to crawl in bed and die. DH was asking me things here and there about the trip and I was just giving him one word answers with a flat tone of voice. I know he could tell I was pissed/frustrated. I just sit and stew but for no real reason, like I hate everything and everyone but they never did anything to me.
I can totally relate. And yes the UK & Ireland (and most of continental Europe) are fantastic places, there are things I miss but not the dark wet gloomy stuff. People generally don't realize how far north Manchester (and others) are; I used to work 7-3 and never see daylight. Driving home at 3:15 in the afternoon with headlights on. I am an introvert to begin with and I just totally withdrew. I am in NC for 4 yrs now and only feel that in the last 18 months am coming back to life. Even here I feel better when there is more light after dinner.
BTW you don't need tanning beds there are special lights that you can buy. I would do that before anti-dep. They (the lights) were popular in the UK and people really improved. They have no harmful UV just the full light spectrum or something like that - I';ll try to remember and send more info
