Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs typically in the fall and winter months when daylight hours are shorter. Common symptoms include feelings of sadness, low energy, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep and appetite, and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. Prevention and treatment strategies often include regular exercise, a healthy sleep routine, light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and medications. If this sounds like you, make an appointment with your doctor to talk about it and discuss treatment options.

We wish you love 💕

I’m quiet. It’s the end of the day. The sun has slipped behind the trees. I’m sleepy. The full moon’s escapades are dwindling. Winter solstice is looming. I feel like a piece of cheese tucked between thick slices of warm bread. Perhaps that’s just a poetic way of saying I must curl up under a quilt. Tuck myself into my cave. A cup of tea in one hand, maybe a book or watch a movie. I welcome the pause. Wishing you a gentle evening or day or night. Above all, I wish you love.

With kindness & respect, Carolyn Riker
