80. What Are Healthy Ways to Support Yourself Through Seasonal Depression?

How do you know if you’re experiencing seasonal depression? This is my first time sharing that I have been feeling this emotional shift every fall for seven years now. In this episode, I dive into how your history can influence your emotional responses to seasonal changes, factors that affect your mood, and coping strategies. I also share how you can turn unhealthy coping mechanisms into healthier ways and why you should build a support system. Remember, these feelings won’t last forever and you are NOT alone.
