Despite the fact that we are in the true in-between phase where every day could be rain, ice, snow, or warm sunshine… I’m starting to come out of it.
What IS it with seasonal depression?? I honestly think it’s such a dumb thing. But it makes a TON of sense, so there’s merit, but I feel like an idiot that it happens to me. It just so happens that around Nov/Dec (usually doesn’t actually kick in til Jan bc the holidays make things easier) I start going slower. Everything slows. February is the worst. Truly the worst. I’ve done horrible things in many Februaries.
March appears, and it’s as if someone shoved an adrenaline needle right into my heart. I’m awake, gasping, alive. Everything looks beautiful to me again. I become more grateful naturally. I am motivated. All of it just HAPPENS.
So I’m getting back to feeling musical with the flowers on the wall in all colors, dancing like a fairy with wings.

It’s the longer exposure to light that decreases cortisol in your brain . Accordingly your depression decreases. I have SAD too so I know it’s a struggle.
