Haha! I've been feeling a bit strange lately!
I have so much work to do that I can't see the end, and no matter how much I accomplish, it never seems to be enough. Yet I keep noticing gaps I'm missing.
At some point, questions like "Is this right? Am I doing well? Did I start something unnecessary?" come with a sense of helplessness. Sigh...๐ฉ
But still! It's okay. This is just a bit ofย "feeling down."

Understanding Depression vs. Feeling Down
Feeling downย refers to a decline in everyday mood.
If the following symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, most of the day, nearly every day,ย it could develop into depression:
- Changes in appetite and weight
- Sleep disorders
- Fatigue, decreased concentration, and lethargy
- Guilt
- Thoughts of suicide
- Impairment in daily functioning
Hmmโฆ Letโs see. ๐ง My appetite has decreased a little, but I still enjoy delicious food. My weight is the same. Guilt or suicidal thoughts? None.
Good. I'm not quite at the depression level. ๐
๐ Blues That Come With the Seasons
Having emotions makes us human, right? We can classify our emotions as joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, love, hate, and desire. โค๏ธ
Feeling downย involves feelings of depression and anxiety, and it also often includes elements ofย โsorrow.โย Butโfunny enoughโsometimes, as I watch myself feeling so sad and down, a surge ofย โangerโย rises up too! ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Moreover, when autumn begins and winter deepens, many people feel down and lethargic for no reason.
While we often sayย "feeling autumn blues,"ย if depression, fatigue, sleep changes, and appetite changes repeatedly interfere with daily life,ย it might be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
