BPD & Seasonal Affective Disorder: Recognizing the Signs Before They Hit!

Xannie, Raf, Solène and Lena wrap up Wednesday's conversation on the overlap between Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The Bunch discusses the early warning signs of SAD, such as hypersomnia, lack of motivation, and physical sensations like heaviness and fatigue. They also explore how seasonal changes and context cues—like shorter days or humid weather—impact mental health. If you’ve ever felt “blah” or disconnected as the seasons shift, this conversation offers insights on how to cope.
