Do you feel low in energy and mood at this time of year? 
Maybe there's a reason for that.
Given our ADHD and lack of object permanency, you might forget about it, even if you are aware (as I do every bloomin' year until it comes to bite me on the bum in late October/early November).
That reason is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or Seasonal Depression.
Did you know that 27% of us with ADHD also suffer from low mood and energy in the winter months?
And that if you have co-morbid depression and/or bipolar disorder too, this can rise to as much as 61% of us? 
Here are some of the symptoms: 

• Depressed mood: Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or despair.

• Loss of interest: Decreased interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.

• Low energy: Feeling fatigued or consistently low on energy.

• Sleep issues: Oversleeping (hypersomnia) or, less commonly, difficulty sleeping (insomnia).

• Changes in appetite: Particularly cravings for carbohydrates, leading to weight gain.

• Feeling sluggish or agitated: Physical or cognitive slowing or restlessness.

• Difficulty concentrating: Problems with focus or decision-making.

• Feeling worthless or guilty: Excessive or inappropriate feelings of guilt.

• Social withdrawal: Avoiding social activities and interactions.

• Suicidal thoughts or behaviours: In severe cases, thoughts of death or suicide.

If several of the above are affecting you right now...there's some simple adjustments we can make to alleviate our seasonal symptoms.
