๐ค๏ธ Feeling the winter blues? Youโre not alone.
As the days get shorter and darker, many people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) โ a type of depression that follows the seasons, often appearing in late autumn and winter. Itโs more than just โfeeling downโ; it can affect energy, sleep, mood, and motivation.
๐ก The good news? There are ways to cope:
Light exposure: Spending time outdoors or using a light therapy lamp can help.
Movement: Gentle exercise, even a short walk, boosts mood.
Connection: Talking with friends, family, or a therapist makes a difference.
Routine: Keeping regular sleep and meal times supports balance.
Remember: SAD is common, and reaching out for support is a sign of strength. If you notice these symptoms in yourself or someone you care about, know that help is available. ๐ฑ
โจ You deserve light, warmth, and care โ even in the darkest months.
December is SAD Awareness Month!
