Okay, I know the holidays just ended and we should expect to be on a high from it all. But I think this may have been one of the most underwhelming holiday seasons I’ve ever experienced.
And, I know my yearly seasonal depression is arriving. Am I depressed all year round? Pretty much. But the dark winter months can hold a special darkness for some of us. It’s most definitely the lack of sunlight where I live, this time of year that causes a lot of sadness.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the hibernation months of winter. No pressure to get out and about. No guilt about not doing yard work. Less people around in public to get in your way. It’s pretty great actually.
And yes. I take my vitamins and actively engage in self-care. But let’s be honest. Depression is real and doesn’t always go away. I’ve tried it all. Therapy included. I even have a happy light and exercise regularly. But, until life gives me a reason to live again, I don’t see this getting any better.
Who else feels like they’re just going through the motions?
