Seasonal Depression?
Is it a thing? YES!
Seasonal Depression, is it real? YES! Very much so. It's real to the point where many people breakdown and no longer feel confident or happy. Every season gives someone a different feeling of emotions. For many, it's the colder months that bring the most discomfort. How can we try and make the best of such an unpleasant experience?
Try keeping your same routine as before. I know the seasons can change and that can make it a little difficult. But, keeping your same patterns can help you stay on track. Taking the proper time to reflect on the future can also be a helpful decision. Sometimes we need to write down what it is that makes us feel this way. Is it a flashback experience? Change in temperatures? Certain holidays? Many of these causes can be a trigger for our depression episodes.
Taking care of yourself mentally and physically is very important. Maintaining a healthy balance is key to keeping your brain fresh, alert, and healthy. Getting in walks to help clear your mind, many swear by exercises. Working out keeps your body healthy but it's also a simulator for your brain. You may want to consider therapy, sometimes seeing a therapist can help you face your challenges. Calling a friend to help you keep your mind off of the triggers is a suggestion. The last thing we should do is isolate ourselves, it will only become worse over time if we don't face the feelings head-on.
