Anybody here experiencing some drastic mood changes in the winter?
Following the holidays, I usually find myself ready to crash. I have been rapidly cycling over the past month or so, but things go even more downhill right after the holidays. I don't know if anyone can relate to that feeling of being both anxious and restless, yet energy level and motivation are lacking all at the same time? I know it sounds like a contradiction, but that's what I have been experiencing. (Btw, just found out my pdoc visit isn't this Monday, it's next Monday. I am really disappointed and a bit worried).
Mixed mania and depression are really common for me at this time of year. Sometimes, I just don't know what to do with myself. My mind keeps racing with worry, but at the same time, I don't know how to take action and stay in bed a lot. What do you try to do to better cope with anxiety and depression during the winter months?
