As colder months approach, I'm scared all of the minimal progress I've made with recovery will disappear. Since I can remember, I've hated fall and winter. I just feel so much more tired, more depressed then. I have depression all year round but in those months it gets worse, like another problem just stacks on top of another, you know.
I'm really scared things will get bad again. Everything just started to go a bit better for me. I'm actually able to get out of bed for more than half of the day, not thinking about CTB all the time (just HALF of the time which is much less!), but I can feel that as the weather is getting colder, I'm starting to feel worse again. This feels so counterintuitive, but I can't help it, and it has been a reocurring pattern for many years of my life.
Do you have any advice on dealing with, specifically, feeling worse during fall/winter?
