So, I go triggered last week and am spiraling. I am just so tired of ending up feeling this way-anxiety and depression.
Christmas is depressing and I can't wait until it's over. I'm also struggling with it being dark/cold-go to bed too early so I get up too early-always dark.
Just needed to write this-I'm calling my counselor later to see if I can see her-haven't been since Sept because we thought I was fine.
So tired of living with this. Life is generally good and yet here I am not wanting to live anymore

Hi this seasonal associated disorder in winter months is hard just try foccus on Xmas been just couple days and then new year soon be here spring round the corner, try and find something sooner you enjoy to look forward to meet up with a friend do some cycling or walking it's boosts my mood up I hate winter 🤗
I have SAD too; winter is always a bad time for me, partly due to Fibromyalgia. Cold, dark days put me into a cold, dark mood, and a bit of sun will bring back my hope.
It's been raining for days, but this afternoon the sun is shining, although it's nearly sunset! Only a couple of days until the shortest day, and then the days will start to lengthen again.
Hi midora yes the cold air effects our joints my nuralgia and damp weather not good on our bones everything's worst in winter I worry about mam a winter can really change a elderly person,I wish you a peaceful Xmas and better times ahead in 2o24 💛🌟
I was so frustrated when this use to happen to me. I'm glad you reached out to your therapist. I needed maintenence sessions every now and then when I got triggered, but they became less needed over time. It's a huge step that you made it this long. Be proud of yourself for that!
I also suffer from seasonal affective disorder....but for me it's more of the weather season than the holiday season.....I am working mandatory 12's...Right now I go to work in the dark and leave work in the dark....work itself in my case can be a very dark place....just do what you can....this is temporary....YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'll get through this just like the rest of us. This time of year that's supposed to be so joyful, ends up being very stressful for a lot of folks. I get triggered it seems every few weeks, but just got to keep pushing through. You've done great, just a minor hiccup and you will be back in no time! Best wishes!!

I am sorry you are feeling this way. But glad you are posting your feelings because you need to get them out. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers. Please try to remember this is temporary. This too shall pass, and when it does, you will feel better. Sending prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
THANK YOU ALL. I am still pretty bad and my counselor can't see me until Friday. I know this will pass and am grateful for any prayers and thoughts. I hope everyone is doing well with their own things
