Seasonal depression has a way of sneaking up on you. Looking back, I can see that my depression snuck in about two and a half/three weeks ago. It super hard this week. I fell into my "exhausted for no reason" pattern and that's when I realized I'd slipped in. Tbis week, having realized I was mid-depressive episode I leaned into it to a certain extent. I had a couple days were I took un-necessary naps. I didn't beat myself up for the days I slept in. In the mean time I've also taken measures to combat my symptoms. I've made a point of spending time outside when the sun is out. I've made sure to eat healthy foods. I've snuggled with JackJack (my dog), and just allowed myself to be lazy and unmotivated. Today was my first day off by myself in over a week so I allowed myself a bit of chill and a bit of pampering. I gave myself a facial, did an undereye treatment, and made my favorite meal. I'm mixing it with some productive tasks as well...
