Yeah there isn't much I can do about it, I'm afraid. It's all connected to nightmares and sleep. The dreams are brutal and sleep deprivation is the result.
I'm glad it isn't constant and there is a pattern so I adjust my schedule as best I can. With work though it's not possible so I have to grin and bear it.

Every year my depression gets bad around that time regardless of my vitamin D or my meds. I thought it was an increase in SAS for a long time. Until I realized it wasn't. It was my body anticipating something bad happening/reliving bad things happening like a haunted house.
Make sure to be kind to yourself right now. You deserve it. Wishing you the best IW.
Same to you WF, Happy holidays
I haven't read that book but it seems that this is exactly what is happening. I will check it out. Once I started going through all the repressed trauma it's like Pandoras Box opened. It is getting better, it just takes a lot of time. A lot.
