Winter is coming up, and Erie-ites are very familiar with the Winter Blues, AKA S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

Our last post described what S.A.D. might look like, but here are some suggestions for you and your family to try and mitigate those intense feelings.

Making a plan now, before the winter really sets in, will be the best bet in managing your mood.

If you or your child is looking for a therapist, consider Forest Counseling! You can learn more about us at forestcounseling.org or by calling 814-482-2209.

SAD is a type of depression that is related to the changes in seasons and shouldn't be dismissed.

It's easy to brush off these feelings and feel as though you have to tough it out, but there are ways to keep your mood and motivation steady despite seasonal changes.

One of the best ways to manage your mood would be to talk with a doctor, or mental health professional, about your symptoms and discuss options for management. Some people use light therapy, talk therapy, or medicines if needed.

Forest Counseling can also help if you or your child is struggling. Visit forestcounseling.org or call 814-482-2209 to learn more about our counseling services.

As you're thinking of what you'll buy to pass out to kids coming to your door to trick-or-treat, consider adding some non-food items. Candy is the first item people think of buying for Halloween and trick or treaters, however, there are some reasons to reconsider. First, there are children with allergies and food sensitivities. Then, according to Forbes, about $400 million of uneaten candy is thrown out every year. Children might also enjoy having something they can use multiple times, versus the treat that can only be enjoyed once. So, consider getting something fun and different for the children stopping at your door this year.

Affirmations can be great to boost children's self esteem and develop a positive self image. However, it's not a magic trick either. If it's not genuine, not accurate/realistic, or not connected to what they're learning, children may not benefit from the affirmation.

Overall, positive growth can come from affirmations, loving connections, and genuine praise. It also makes an impact when you're showing a child the improvements they've made and how far they've come.

What are your favorite affirmations for you or your child? Let Forest Counseling know below!
