Does anyone else deal with seasonal depression? As summer winds down, I'm just thinking of it. I've had success with mindfulness and some other practices, wondering if anyone has any tips? TIA

Kind of. I have Bipolar ii and work in tax. Typically the long hours and less sleep have me hypomanic by May. This year some added stressors in my personal life put me pretty close to full blown mania by June. Medication has taken me back to my baseline and I’m hoping prevents a depressive swing in the fall. We’ll see. My last depressive episode lasted more than a year before I switched to a more effective medication. Therapy really helps and I highly recommend if you haven’t already. It really helps with perspective and identification of negative thought patterns that can make depression worse.

I take vitamin D3 daily (5,000 IU). Trader Joe has it pretty cheap.

YES! Helps me to have things to look forward to. I plan my summer vacation during February March to keep my mind happy.

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.
