Do You Live with Seasonal Affective Disorder?
Do you find you feel a less energetic during the fall and winter months? If so, you may be living with seasonal affective disorder. I know I used to really feel differently then. I remember being at home when I was growing up. Yes, I was very young when I began to experience it. In my bedroom, the light changed, the shadows were different…longer. I just didn’t feel great.
