Starting this because were nosediving into SAD season! Mine started unusually early this year and I didnt even realize it until my therapist asked me if I struggle from it and she said a lot of people are experiencing it early for some reason. I didnt know why I was feeling EXCEPTIONALLY blue. I always forget about it until it hits. But damn heres some depression and heres MORE depression to couple with the fact its getting cold and dark and you arent outside as much. Thanks universe.
Oh man, I feel this so hard. SAD always creeps up on me too, like I don’t even realize what’s going on until I’m drowning in it. Props to your therapist for calling it out early—it’s so easy to forget it’s even a thing until it hits you like a ton of bricks.
I definitely deal with it too, and yeah, the cold and dark just make everything worse. I’ve tried those light therapy lamps, and getting outside even for a little bit sometimes helps, but honestly, some days it’s just tough to even care.
Anyway, you’re not alone in this. If you ever wanna talk about it or just complain about how much this season sucks, I’m here. You can always send me a message
Thanks, @Valor9 I appreciate that. Its nice to chat with people who get it. I have been told to get a good light therapy lamp but theyre EXPENCIVE! Maybe I can work on getting one through insurance. Do you have a recomendation?
