Not Another Manic Monday

Time outside each day is critical to my mental wellbeing. It’s May. Temperatures are heating up. Today’s high is 89°F. As summer approaches and summer lingers, it becomes more difficult for me to spend time outdoors.

We put panels in the windows to block heat. I keep the lighting low because it feels cooler. Spending months in the dark results in reverse seasonal affective disorder (reverse SAD), which can also be called summer SAD.

And depression can flip to mania quickly.
