Hello and welcome to my first impressions of this year's spring!
 |
| ... let's get out of the seasonal depression! |
It has been a long, dark and lonely winter. Corona made it worse for most of all. The opportunities to meet people, to meet family and friends during the holidays, to just go out and eat at a restaurant or go shopping at a mall were not available for many. I, for my part am familiar with being alone and staying at home. But the gloomy winter days still take a toll on my mental health, every single year, as my depression gets worse in the cold and dark season.
That is why my mood is always skyrocketing as soon as the first warmer, sunnier spring days come around. Please do not get me wrong, I would not say that my depression is gone, not even in summer. But the warm rays of sunlight are soothing for my mind and I can let go of the winter's nadir. Although I struggle a lot with thoughts of hopelessness and worthlessness, spring is usually the season for me to just implement a little bit of positivity into my days.
If you are looking for a little bit of an inspiration to enjoy the first rays of sunlight please keep reading!
