Hi. Does anyone else feel a bit wonky since the clocks changed?

I always used to feel like I suffered with SAD and hated the dark months but as I've gotten older I feel like I have a dip at this time of year. It's almost like an edgy over readiness. Inpatient. Blunt. Low tolerance threshold. Wanting to scream but low energy. Whereas I'd hope to feel a buzz for the extra sun and lighter evenings. I have had a rough few years due to nightmare neighbours who finally left last year. I'd come to prefer dark nights due to the chronic ASB that we suffered and I think the whole thing has made me a bit agoraphobic and preferring the outdoors to be quiet, which is more likely when the weather's rubbish. Just a dip hopefully.

Do you also feel like the few seconds where you're being buttered up prior to being asked to do something (or a favour) feels like 300 years of torture?

I find this excruciating, especially when there's a long prelude to eventually getting to the question, after a bit of beating around the bush along with a bit of over exaggerated friendliness and maybe some space invading. It can also be made 1000 times worse with the additional introducing line of, "are you busy?", when you're clearly concentrating on something, carrying out a task or multitasking a handful of jobs. Unlike this post..... just get to the point!!

Children. Under 14’s. Spending hours on ChatGPT in the last few days but not saying what they're doing. Not schoolwork for absolute sure. What? They won't tell me despite having a strong, chatty, constructive relationship. I've now blocked it. I'm hoping to explore it more on the next few days.

I'm a novice to the app. What kind of things do kids do with this? Assuming it's just a text based interface with an AI? Thanks
