Would you like to discover your conflict style in relationships? Discover how it can help you in your relationships, https://therelationshipmaze.com/relationshipconflictvsl2.In today's episode we talk about the low feelings that many people get in the winter period. The lack of light can affect your mood to the extent that you might struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a form of depression that is usually experienced during the autumn and winter months. Everybody gets affected by the changing season, however, with SAD you are hit much harder than others, e.g. struggling to get out of bed, meeting friends or feeling very tearful. Unlike clinical, long term depression, SAD usually lifts with the arrival of spring or summer. We emotionally regulate through connection with others. In the dark and cold winter months, these interactions often get reduced. It's dark and cold and therefore cosier to stay indoors. This in turn can affect your mood adversely if you are already feeling low and lonely. We discuss what you might want to do if you experience low mood in the winter months.
