Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Hi you! 🥰 Today I have spent some time together with my mum outside in this beautiful weather that we have gotten now for a couple of days 😁 I feel almost like a bear who is awakening from its long slumber.

During the darker times of the year, my energy gets very low and I’m often fighting against anxiety and depression during these times. It doesn’t matter how positive my mindset is during the autumn and how excited I’m to decorate both my garden and inside our house and make it warm and cozy. Or the shift in the air when another smell is taking place outside and the air gets so fresh and ”crispy”? And don’t forget about all the beautiful colors that nature creates! All of this and much more, and still my anxiety is knocking me on my shoulder to let it be heard once again. So it’s easy for me to say that the winter is quite hard for me.

I’m often getting much more isolated and rarely want to meet people because I feel like my level of energy isn’t enough in comparison to many of my friends and the last thing I want is for them to feel low too when being around me…my biggest wish is that people feel good around me!

But now when everything is coming slowly back to life again I am too slowly coming back to life in a way. And for that, I am truly thankful! ❤

This isn’t a rare thing, to have all these feelings. It’s more common than you probably know and for you who recognize yourself in all this maybe. It doesn’t even have to be during the darker seasons of the year but instead, you maybe get these feelings during spring. If so that’s normal too. But remember if you feel like it’s getting out of your hands, talk to those around you. And dare to reach out to your friends and family and don’t let these feelings control you like it has for me. We need to talk more about these things in life. I’m still learning myself. But do remember; you are strong and not alone! ❤💪

Me and mum taking a walk in the wonderful sunshine! We ”climbed” upon a big rock and sat down for a little while and just talked and enjoyed the view with an open field in front of us 🌞 That’s true medicine for your soul!

Thursday

Hi you! 😄 After Sunday’s adventures, I’ve been sooo tired and a bit low to be honest…It’s not that I’m sad for what came through or such, but it’s like all my energy went to getting these answers so now I’m drained of all my energy and have to rest a bit and just be a little for myself for a few days to load my batteries ❤

These days I have tried to only do things that make me feel good. Most of the time has been spent outside in my garden. We have gotten ourselves a table from Kevins Auntie Ulla who sadly passed away early this year. This table has been standing inside her storehouse (I don’t know for how long though) but it looked like it needed a bit of love. And I saw the potential of a cozy little cafe table ☺️

So the last few days I’ve been scraping off the white color and sanded the table so that I can finish it all with a dark brown wood varnish 😁


Psst!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote on the blog about a video blog that should have been uploaded a long time ago now, why isn’t it up yet? That’s because the editing program that a used back then worked pretty well until I was about to upload it as I said. The sad part was that it ended up with a huge watermark right in the middle of the screen…😓 So I felt that I just couldn’t upload that video.

Instead, I have been searching for a new editing program without a huge watermark! 😉 And I think I have found it! 😀 So what I want to tell you is that I have been recorded a lot these days too and started editing so hopefully there will be a video up soon after all and if everything goes my way! 🥰

Have a great Thursday evening you all! 🤗❤
