How I Manage My Seasonal Depression🌷

Описание: How I Manage My Seasonal Depression🌷

Ah, it's been a tough Winter this year. Coming out of it, my mood has been very low, verging on a kind of seasonal depression. I use my SAD lamp, go to the gym, and get outside. But still, the lingering low mood remains. I recently learned a new term which covers it: anhedonia. The middling, "bleh" feeling that doesn't feel bad enough to go to the doctor, but is bad enough to make life feel colourless. Perhaps you can relate?

The solution, I think, is to increase the simple joys in life. To savour meals, to arrange a vase of flowers, to read a book in a park outside (I do this wrapped up well with a hot water bottle so I can stay out longer!). Or whatever it is that sparks joy in your life. It does feel hard. But it isn't forever. Even with how low I've been feeling, I truly believe that better days will come again. The season will turn, and there will be peace and wellness again.
