Does anybody get affected by the changing seasons?

I’ve been feeling a bit “off” for the past few days. I think it might be down to the changing seasons. I’ve been feeling a bit paranoid basically. Not a lot thankfully, but it’s there.

It might just be a coincidence too.

I’m feeling a bit more blue lately.
I attribute it to the shorter days.

I have been having some few paranoid thoughts too :thought_balloon: i am aware of it still.

Yeah changing seasons … it is a melancholic time i guess. At least we had some warm days.

Feels like a new beginning this year for me.
With exercise, weight loss and new business goals :grinning::grinning:

I’ve never used one. But I’m not really depressed, just not feeling quite right. I’ll keep it in mind though. Thanks.

I don’t really have seasons,

But have also been feeling extra paranoid lately.

Honestly,

I think its the vibe on our forum.

A couple weeks ago, several regular users started feeling bad,

Then it just kinda snowballed.

I freaked out and still haven’t recovered.

It seems a little more leveled out here lately, but for a minute we were definitely contagious.

I get weird feelings around the change of seasons too. I get more anxiety.

i noticed too. i try to make a fun post if i can think of one. I think it might pay off. maybe they read along and are least distracted if not entertained.

I find it harder to work up a sweat in winter than in summer. Other than the days get shorter and the nights get longer during winter, I don’t get that much affected by the changing seasons.

I’m trying to figure out how to afford a sad lamp right now. I’m talking to my Dr on Tuesday. I have terrible seasonal affective disorder. Christmas is a nightmare.

This is reminding me to get my Vitamin D for the fall and winter.

Always found schizophrenia to be cyclic. We have two seasons…summer/ winter…not really a bad winter where I live. I still get sick in spring…it’s funny how that works but I suspect it may have a lot to do with things when it comes to symptoms.
