Summertime Sadness- How to Cope With it
The withering heat and summer vacations, summer is supposed to be fun and relaxing but if you’ve got summertime sadness, it isn’t.
For some, summer isn’t quite the funfest it’s supposed to be. In fact, the hot, bright, long days make them genuinely sick. Summertime sadness or professionally known as summer-onset seasonal affective disorder exists and many people suffer from it.
While for many people summertime sadness may be a biological cause, for others the particular stresses and heat of summer can pile up and make them feel miserable.
While many people may neglect treating summertime sadness as a temporary illness, it can turn into a longer-lasting bout of major depression therefore it is imperative to treat depression-despite its type- urgently.
It’s simple. If you think you’re getting summertime sadness, get help. Talk to a therapist, like a psychiatrist, psychologist, or a mental health professional who can evaluate whether medicines for depression might be appropriate. Do not take the signs of depression lightly.
You should never have to fight your battles alone. Counselling can provide a long-term solution to a lifetime struggle like depression.
The best thing about summertime sadness is that you can plan. So if you’re feeling OK near and during spring, think about the specific aspects of your life that usually become difficult during the summer. Plan ahead. Evaluate questions like: What will help prevent summer depression? What’s the best way to take time off from work? You will feel a lot more in control heading into the summer if you have plans in place.
Depression, regardless of whether it’s summertime sadness or something more constant, is so much more than just an emotion or a feeling. Educate yourself and educate others. Continuously check on your friends and your family. Living with a mental illness is an involuntary full-time job, but we can alleviate the pain by making sure those around us are well taken care of.
