S.A.D - surprisingly reassuring.

I don't know about other people, but my anxiety always flares up at this time of the year, and a lot of it is SAD based. I think it is comforting that a lot of the symptoms of anxiety will come with SAD, so you don't start thinking 'oh no, why is it happening again'.

A few symptoms of SAD are

Depression
Sleep problems
Lethargy
Loss of concentration
Anxiety
Mood changes
Aggression
Feeling low, down, knackered


These are the months that SAD kicks in so don't give yourselves such a hard time if you are having these symptoms, don't try to stress your head in figuring it out. If you are feeling more anxious than usual, this could be why.

Thanks for reading.

I know I've definitely noticed myself getting more anxious recently, as happened last year. I'm sure it's the weather and the dark mornings and nights... roll on Spring!
