I can't stand when we have the time change. I don't know who has a harder time w/it me or John. I've always had a problem, but never knew why.
He is starting to have his outbursts again. We saw the pdoc last week & she upped his lamictal.

The time change is hard on everyone I think to some degree. Although I'll have to say I like gaining an hour better than when we lose one in the spring.
Sorry Taz is having trouble with this. Hopefully, the increase in meds will do the trick.

I don't mind this one (Fall Back), but I agree with Lynn, the Spring Foward one is a killer!

I wonder if Luke was worse at Bush on Monday because of the time change. Hmm

It could also be Hallowe'en. I know not everyone believes but my mom says that she and all the other nurses found they always got the weirdest cases around
Hallowe'en. A lot of hallucinations and stuff. And she worked for an oral surgeon. Especially if there was also a full moon. Thankfully, this year they
weren't at the same time.

We always have issues on "big" days, ie Halloween, Xmas. He gets all hyped up & by the times its over his balloon is deflated & he's
miserable.

They've done studies showing that time changes do cause problems with the mental health community. It also goes along with losing the daylight for seasonal
affective disorder. I hate the time change & getting dark earlier. I haven't been so bad this year because the time change came later. It sure has
affected Nick though. He came out of his bedroom tonight growling like a bear. I wish he'd just hibernate through the winter. Winter is always our bad
season. I am grateful for the reprieve though, even if it was only a couple of weeks.

I find time change only gets harder as time goes on for me. Even the 'fall back'. I'm glad later actually went better for you, Rayni. I didn't
notice it as much this year, but that could be for lots of reasons. LOL Last spring was hard though, and I expect this one will be as well. DD seems to be
doing ok, although I need to call since I haven't heard anything for a few days. We certainly all enjoyed Halloween with the little guy. She dressed up to
go Trick or Treating with him, like a little kid herself. I need to see if the picture I took of her came out. She is looking good these days.
