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.

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
