Episode 87 – How We Support Ourselves Through the Winter Blues and Depression

Episode 87 – How We Support Ourselves Through the Winter Blues and Depression

We start off this week’s episode with Edward checking in about his medications. Edward finds himself having trouble taking his medications every day, but also shares with us his increased energy and better mood. Edward discusses his excitement around his blood pressure situation and how he is hopeful for the return to Adderall. One scary element to him is a temporary increase to his suicidal ideations. With the decrease of impulse control that occurs with some medications Edward is looking to speak with his doctor about these side effects. Jason sheds some light on how this works with depression medications, as well as shares his own experiences with this type of side effect.

As we move into the colder months with less light, Jason and Edward share some of their tips and habits that help them navigate the darkest times of the year. Whether they are feeling the winter blues or are experiencing increased depression, the first step is to be aware of their current mental and emotional states. Some of the tips are common ones that most people talk about, such as exercising regularly. However, some are self-care tips around making day to day tasks easier when they find themselves with less energy.
