Winter in Indiana can feel pretty heavy. It's not just the snow, but the mental and emotional weight that comes with shorter days. If you’re feeling the "winter blues" or seasonal depression, please hear us: you aren't weak, and you definitely aren't alone.
Sometimes it’s not that you’re “off” — your serotonin levels might just be low, especially during seasonal shifts.
Seasonal depression can sneak in quietly. Less sunlight, slower days and more isolation. All of this impacts your brain chemistry and your spirit.
❄️ Gentle winter reminders:
• Stay connected with the people that love you
• Keep a simple routine, even on hard days
• Spend a few quiet moments with God each day, even if it’s just a breath prayer
• Ask for help when you need it — support is a strength, not a failure
If this season feels overwhelming, Hope Alive is here to walk with you toward hope and healing.
