OPINION: My SAD story feat. coffee
Seasonal beverages help me stay motivated during the winter months
Winter can be a really dismal time of year, especially for those who suffer from seasonal depression, also known as SAD. The short days, lack of decently warm outdoor activities, and financial stress from the upcoming holidays are all parts of winter that I dread every year.
Every fall my mind is taken over by thoughts of how much fun summer is and how sad I am that it’s gone, along with anxiety stemming from the shorter daytime hours and feeling like I’m less productive.
