So, you see, while some perceive winter as a festive time when their worlds are blanketed by the purity of snow, others feel that they are being suffocated by a literally colorless existence.

haunt-me-x3:

if you have seasonal affective disorder you are basically a flower because flowers wilt when they don’t get enough light and so do you 

neutralfleur:

ah yes i love breathing in the crisp fall scent of slowly isolating myself and falling into a deep depression

mordacious-paradox:

I hate it when you can feel the depression just slowly creeping back in as each day gets colder and darker, and all you can think is “not again”

ways to combat seasonal depression!!

naturenurturer:

• keep the windows open as much as you can
• keep your curtains open & let all the sunlight in!!
• try to get outside at least once a day
• exercise (even if it’s just taking a walk or doing a yoga video)
• drink lots and lots of water!!!! i carry around a 32oz nalgene every day!!!
• make sure you have comfy socks/shoes/sweaters/clothes for the season!!
• get scented candles
• take up a hobby (like knitting! i make wreaths and i bake!)
• accept that you’re going to have bad days and do things to try and make them less bad (like drinking water!)
• don’t doubt yourself!!!! your depression is legitimate and just because it’s only during the cold months doesn’t mean you don’t need as much attention as people with year-round depression!!!!!

I don’t understand why every flower I pick dies, he said to me.

You love the flower for its beauty, and once she begins to wilt - you go and pick another, I said, as my last petal fell in his hand.
