For any one sufffering from the winter blues, try replacing some of your lighting in the house with full-spectrum daylight bulbs that mimic natural sunlight, these posts expain it a little and the bulbs aren't to expensive, worth a shot at least ? https://blog.lightbulbs-direct.com/choosing-daylight-bulbs/ https://www.makegreatlight.com/about-us/blog/difference-between-full-spectrum-bulbs-daylight-bulbs
I’ve been keeping my house lighter for longer recently to see what impact it has. I tend to hate dark mornings/dark nights as I’d feel like I’m in a loop of going to work and it’s dark, coming home and it’s dark, day gone. At work, we now get a day per fortnight working from home and it’s having a huge impact positively. Just lets us do things we wouldn’t normally do during the week and feels like there’s more of a “balance”. We’re allowed to have the day “off” and do the work we would have done another evening or at the weekend. As long as what needs to be done is done, it’s okay. Appreciate not all workplaces will be as trusting as that but it’s certainly helping us.
I detest this time of year, bad stuff always seems to happen to me around it and this year is no exception. Just been let go today from a job I started about three months ago (end of probation period). Never been unemployed before and I haven't got a ****ing clue what to do, financially or to get myself back into work.
