The world can seem full of promise one day and full of
unrelenting clouds the day after
some time outside within two hours of getting up in the
morning.
Exercise regularly. Physical exercise helps relieve stress
and anxiety, both of which can increase seasonal affective
disorder symptoms. Being more fit can make you feel better
about yourself, too, which can lift your mood.
It seems incomprehensible that, considering the
prevalence of mental illness, we struggle as a society to
acknowledge its presence. Believing that by refusing to talk
about it, we may somehow make it non-existent. Fortunately,
the last several years have seen a marked increase in dialogue
about the disease. Well-known public figures have
acknowledged their struggles and made it okay for us to shine
a light on the subject. Fundraisers have been launched to raise
money for mental health related projects, public health dollars
have been slated to provide help for sufferers and workplace
initiatives have been put in place to prevent stress-related
illnesses.
As the leaves turn colour and the occasional crispness in
the air promises a shift in the weather, don't be surprised if
that shift means turning on the air conditioner one day and
the furnace on the next. Similarly, the world can seem full of
promise and adventure one day and full of unrelenting clouds
the day after. All that is normal and even expected, especially
considering the weather rollercoaster we've been on lately. But
if the sun seems to come out less often, literally and
metaphorically, and the desire to stay cocooned under the
covers becomes a daily occurrence, it may be time to seek
help.
And while you're soldering through another season filled
with as many clouds as falling leaves, it's good to remember
that the sun is always shining just above them.
