    Default Anyone else get seasonal depression?

    Trying to get ahead of it this year. It's bloody dark early these days.

    What's your strategy?

    I don't really suffer from depression, but since being unwell it can try and creep in for sure, this situation with the covid doesn't help either, I think many are suffering from added stress and not everyone is getting the help they need, unfortunately


    For me focusing on this forum helps a shit ton, along with growing, baking and anything really just to keep a focus away from negativity and stress.


    Feeling very unwell some days, reading through the forum genuinely does make me forget about it...and helps lift the spirits, and I know I'm definitely not the only one.


    I would also recommend looking into some extra vitamin C and D, which during the winter times is something many of us can lack in and that also contributes to depression amongst other things.

    Good advice about the vitamins. I'm also foraging into a new hobby growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. Initial trials have been successful.

    I don't do hobbies half way.. I like to master them. I home brewed beer for awhile until I was able to get commercial quality reliably but I try to avoid frequent alcohol consumption and having kegs of tasty beer on tap is not good for me.

    Also dabbling in microdosing but I'm not sure if this is appropriate for the forum. Please delete if so.

    Well you have certainly mastered the growing mate

    Microdosing?..It depends, PM me details and I'll let you know mate.


    I'll also recommend to any Talk member who is struggling with depression to have a chat with someone about it, whether it's friends or family and if it's bad enough even a Dr (I know many of us don't bother with them) perhaps some of them help lines..some say talking to a stranger helps?, don't feel it's something you have to keep to yourself and just know..that no matter how bad it can get there is always light at the end of the tunnel, things will get better, just keep the chin up and swim through the shit if needs be..never give up

    Thanks brother!

    I'm in a really good place but in the past its been a struggle. I talk to my family and friends about it and don't feel any shame. Hopefully anyone dealing with mental health issues has the courage to speak up. It's not something you can deal with alone.. Which in these times a lot of people are. Thankfully I'm not alone or isolated. Also here for anyone who needs a chat.

    I hear a light box can be helpful for seasonal depression...What I will say and especially for us blokes who tend to bottle shit up. Never be afraid or embarrassed to discuss your mental health. We are all susceptible to anxiety & depression it's a human condition and nothing to be ashamed of..

    Regards BL

    I used to change the fluorescent tubes over to full spectrum in any office I had, you can also get boxes that slowly come on in the mourning while you sleep.
