Hello there....I also have SAD so I have to be careful this time of the year. I’ve been doing a lot of coping skills and self-care. You just have to find the right ones that help you. For me I turn on my wax burner (aromatherapy). I soak in a hot bath while listening to mellow music or mental health seminars on YouTube. I have a coloring app on my phone. I also have Words with Friends. For me it’s a matter of keeping myself occupied...you can Google a suggested list of coping skills and self-care. Things fall into place when you find what works for you. Best wishes
