Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder

I have been really struggling with seasonal affective disorder this year. I wake up and feel so depressed with no reason. My life is actually really amazing: great job, amazing boyfriend, perfect family and friends. I just can’t shake this unhappiness. I know it’s only for this season, but I’m really struggling to get through it. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how do you get yourself through it??

I have and I’ve found doing what little u can when u feel good enough helps and just taking care of urself physical can make a huge difference. For my self harm was an issue for a lil while u can use red marker or ice. For me coloring helps too…. Oh and music FOR SURE helps me even now try to create a routine n do the best u can when u feel up to it to try n stick to it. I truly hope your feel better soon and I’m so very sorry ur having to go through this❤️❤️ if u ever need someone to talk to ur welcome to DM me

Just make sure u don’t have holes….. oh also those little toys with the pins that u cna make hand imprints on my bf loves that too i do too cuz it feels cool. ❤️❤️❤️ hope that helps some
