☀️ Men, do you know the symptoms of summer depression? ☀️
Summer is often pictured as constant sunshine, energy, and happiness. For many people, it doesn’t feel that way. If you’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, restless, or just “off,” you’re not doing anything wrong. You may be experiencing summer Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
It’s a real thing.
Sometimes the shift in routine, heat, social pressures, or feeling like you should be happy can actually make things feel heavier.
Are you feeling more angry or agitated? Are you drinking more?
June and July are powerful collective emotional months as the school year winds down and a large population of teachers and students prepare and move into a new daily routine.
Remember, it is not an easy time, and the feelings may not all be yours. Perspective is important!
If you are feeling out of sorts, here are a few self-care tips:
*Stay hydrated
*Get regular sleep
*Take quiet time to reset
*Don’t overbook yourself
You don’t have to push through it alone or pretend everything is fine. Sometimes just naming what’s going on is the first step toward feeling better. 💛
Remember, you can always book a discovery call and explore how therapy can help:
