In every online community I’ve ever seen, winter depression has been a noticeable thing, and this site is no exception. The combination of weather and being indoors, having to deal with shitty family over the holidays, being lonely over the holidays, etc. is bad enough, but I feel like this year is worse than usual due to the election and other events.
I don’t know if recent bad vibes might be in part due to this, but regardless, please treat both yourself and others with kindness, at least as much you’re able to. Also, don’t hesitate to open up to people you trust if there’s anything on your mind you want to discuss.
Does anyone else have any good tips for dealing with it? Please let us know in the comments, and thank you for reading this.
Can you explain in simple words how to self-care? It was not a thing when I was growing up, and I never really understood what it means.
Will definitely try the vitamin D, thanks for reminding me, read a post about it on here a while ago, but then completely forgot.
You're the mod of /c/cute, right? Here's a cute Pokémon art that I found
Jolteon is the electric-type Eeveelution, and in this picture they're using it to charge a phone hehe
I’m definitely not an expert (and in fact, I’m quite terrible at self-care) but I see it as just paying attention to you’re own mental health and taking whatever steps you can to protect it. Like for example, I don’t get enough sleep and I’m always up to late on the internet, like I’m doing now. I should log off and get some sleep. Nightie night everyone.
