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.

  • Strangley, I find it easier to function this time of year. I love cold weather on my face when I go outside and I love and the sensory comfort of wearing wooly jumpers. 
    Summer is when I almost cease to be able to function at all. I can't cope with bright sunlight and I find heat oppressive. I almost hibernate during the summer, drawing the curtains and staying in on the hottest brightest days. I am far more productive in autumn and winter
