🎄 Seasonal Depression and the Holidays A Gentle Reminder You Are Not Alone The holidays are often shown as joyful, but for many people they can feel heavy. Shorter days, colder weather, family dynamics, relationship changes, and end-of-year fatigue can all affect mood and energy. If this season feels quieter or more emotional, there is nothing wrong with you. Seasonal depression often shows up in fall and winter and can look like low energy, sadness, sleeping more, changes in appetite, difficulty focusing, or wanting to withdraw. These feelings are common and often pass as the seasons change. Small supports can help: ☀️ Get daylight when possible 🕰️ Keep simple routines 🚶♀️ Move your body gently 🤍 Stay connected in ways that feel safe 🎄 Set boundaries and rest when needed Most importantly, be kind to yourself.
