Title: Seasonal Affective Disorder
Post by: ZandraJoi on May 25, 2022, 05:53:17 PM
I suffer from SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. It hits me quite hard in the wintertime. Keeping a routine, a schedule, not having to think but just do, is what helps me cope. Also making sure I get outside. We have a husky mix who LOVES the cold so I take 2 to 3 walks with her a day, bundled up. Her antics just make me laugh & smile :)
Believe it or not, there is a Springtime SAD. While it's not as common as the Wintertime, there are some who feel more depressed in the warmer months.
Do you have SAD? Which one do you have? What has helped you cope?
