@smwgilbert @ottawacity Careful what you wish for. They removed snowbanks last week near my house and damaged trees, a garden box and number of lawns at the same time.
@smwgilbert I would say I am surviving but not exactly thriving. Been dealing with this for a number of years and it’s a bad roller coaster. Tips? Have lots of sets of cotton sheets on hand. Night sweats equals lots of laundry.
I know I am not alone. For me, it's more than the winter blues. It's Seasonal Affective Disorder. UV light therapy and exercise really do help. #BellLetsTalk
If I ever win the lottery, I’m going to buy everyone I know a happy lamp. Light therapy really helps with the winter blues, even if you don’t have Seasonal Affective Disorder. #BellLetsTalk
The days are short. It’s cold outside. Work is crazy. My social life is almost non-existent due to the pandemic. And I live with Seasonal Affective Disorder. Other than that, I’m doing great. #BellLetsTalk
Happy lamp and happy dog — both essential for my mental health. One provides UV light to treat SAD when I’m inside, the other forces me outside for walks in the midday sun. #BellLetsTalk
Today, I hope everyone will put aside a few minutes to have a real conversation with colleagues, friends and loved ones about mental health. #BellLetsTalk
