SAD (Seasonal Affect Disorder)

SAD is a recurrent type of depression associated with the change in seasons ~ generally, it starts in the fall and goes through the winter months.

For some people, it can be debilitating.

Some of the signs of SAD are:

• Difficulty sleeping
• Feeling less social than usual
• Difficulty taking initiative
• Overeating
• Feeling down or depressed most of the day, nearly every day
• Loss of interest in things you usually enjoy
• Struggling to focus
• Feeling constantly fatigued and lethargic
• Feeling hopeless about the future
• Having suicidal thoughts

I don’t know about you but SAD impacts me EVERY year.

It’s a big reason why I moved out of the North East to the South…but it is still a thing with the gray, rainy weather during the winter months here in Charlotte, NC.
