Cannabis for Seasonal Affective Disorder
-Welcome back! Thank you for joining us again!
-It’s the season!
-It’s getting chilly, hot chocolates are getting fired up next to the fire place, and Christmas music is filling the air!!
-That’s one side of the story.
-For others of us, this season is a bit different….
-it’s cold, getting dark early, and tends to be a time always reminding us of our loved ones that may have left us, and other sad times as well.
-family gatherings and holiday shopping commitments also can cause this
So today we’re going to talk about that…seasonal anxiety disorder
Why is this topic important?
-for starters, I think this is something everyone can relate to
-it’s easy to not be as happy when it’s darker and colder, right? Also if you see everyone else enjoying their good times during the holiday if maybe you can’t.
-since we are coming up on the darkest day of the year, December 21st, it’s not the worst time to release this episode.
it’s certainly no stranger to me!
A ~year before I started my journey of losing the ~50-60 lbs and and 5-6 different medications, I was no stranger to these feelings, for me it wasn’t so much of the loss of anyone than it was the short, cold days that kept me inside and multiplied the feelings of guilt, shame, etc.
