Does anyone else get really horrible anxiety in the fall knowing that the winter months are coming with all the cold and darkness? I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster but can’t get off... I’m located in the Midwest which I’m sure impacts this

Yes. And seasonal depression is a thing.

Normally I have a routine that keeps my mind off of it enough to get through it. And planning a trip or 2 during the Oct-April months really helps.

For obvious reasons, this year is really hitting me. Woke up cold this morning and wanted to cry :/ It's not even technically Fall yet.
