I started a SAD thread a couple of yrs ago and tbh it is a bit depressing.
What small things do you do to get through the dark nights and cold days.
Mine is Vit D
Bedtime routine
Fairy lights
Cosy blankets
Soup
Country walks
Pottery throw down.
How about you.

Hot chocolate

Bubble baths
Bake Off
Plan my 2024 holiday
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
Singing in my local choir
Online yoga sessions

I have found recently my depression/anxiety increases at this time of year. I have found; pushing myself to go a walk with my son and dog on dark nights, finding a good series to watch and trying to keep in regular family helps.

I'm watching this thread with interest for further tips

Also spicy food and I just made Apple and cinnamon flapjack.
Embracing it seems better than dreading it.i like to keep super busy too so I don'tnotice so much.
