Winter and Functioning

If you are posting on this thread please stick to experience or sharing of positive things and please avoid debate which would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am finding my executive functioning is quite low at the moment due to quite a few challenges at the same time and the limited light. A lot of my forms of relaxation require good light for my vision to be good enough. Each week at work ( I do a maximum of 4 days) feels a challenge at the moment, so I try to celebrate a week achieved at a time. 

I try to find positives in nature that is mostly on the decline at this time of year. My positive for this week is the smell of damp leaves.

Does anyone else find this time of year difficult?

I enjoy reading people's funny experiences on here, but they are sadly lacking at the moment.

  • I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, so I too can find this time of year to be a struggle. It can cause me to feel as though I just want to snuggle up under my duvet and hibernate.

    Like you Homebird, I too enjoy reading amusing anecdotes shared by other members. It is said that laughter is the best medicine, and I am very much in agreement. Whilst I appreciate that humour is subjective, reading things that appeal to my sense of humour can be just what is needed to lift my mood. Relaxed
