Cold temperatures and dark, dreary days for months at a time can kick even the most positive person into a wintry slump.❄️
Lack of sunlight and shorter days. It disrupts our circadian rhythm (internal body clock).
The struggle is real.😳

You’re tired during the day.
You’re moody.
You have no motivation.
You just want to stay home under a warm blanket and veg.
The winter blues usually starts in October and ends in the spring when the snow is gone.
Some people, though, have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which causes severe symptoms such as depression. 😔
A physician will have to do a thorough evaluation first before diagnosing the patient with SAD. The reason being, there can be another mental health condition that can cause similar symptoms.
Once a person is diagnosed with SAD, her doctor will recommend light therapy and maybe even an antidepressant. It all depends on how severe the symptoms are.
If you think you might have Seasonal Affective Disorder, you might want to consult your physician about it.
Here are 10 tips on how to overcome the winter blues.

1.) Get Your Butt Outside
Yeah, I know. Some days it’s just too damn cold to be outside.
When the snot freezes in your nose or the tears in your eyes. It’s fucking cold.
