Short days getting to me

No I’m not really depressed but starting to feel the gloom of the shorter Autumn days.
Don’t like the feeling I’m getting of the darker days.

Kind of weighs heavily on me and creeps me out.
Winter is around the corner.

Have you tried a light box? I believe they sell them on Amazon, I’d provide a link, but my Amazon links have my personal info on them.

Hi @kindness
I own a light box but it just makes me manic.

Sorry to hear that.

I’ll try to think of something else to help you (may take some time).

I am worried about the months January - February the most.

I am still doing things right now and making a lot of plans. Planning things is helping me so much to not worry about the negatives.

Maybe you can buy a desk calendar and make a planner for yourself for every day till Christmas.

Setting small goals for yourself might help you.

Monday - walk 10 thousand steps
Tuesday - make potato puree from scratch
Wednesday - watch comedy on Netflix
Thursday - go somewhere to do something, maybe to a mall etc
Friday - see family or drive somewhere, if you can go to the gym it is a very big plus.

This is helping me a lot. Creating things to do for myself to keep busy.
