I believe there is a common seasonal depression for most people during the cold winter. The days are shorter while the night is longer. The longer the night, the longer everyone is cooped up in their homes. Having everyone cooped up make them bored and do their own hobbies. Usually, those hobbies make us think a lot in our heads sometimes. We start having seasonal depression because we could be out of the house spending time having fun or doing something more productive with friends. I've been feeling the slow vibes and seasonal depression ever since winter started.
I've been wanting to do more but have been restricted. Obviously, there are still activities that I can make myself busy with like cooking, crocheting, painting, reading, or gaming. These are just mindless activities where my body may be occupied but my brain is always thinking and wandering into other things to think about. I can be easily distracted when I already try to make a goal in myself to at least finish what I'm doing first.
Eventually, I start losing all energy to do anything and just stop everything. I fall into a deep sleep or hibernating phase and it starts killing my motivation and creativity. I read that to help myself with this seasonal depression is that I should treat myself. I should try to keep myself busy with things that make me happy and what bring me comfort. Since I'm more aware of the seasonal depression that keeps reoccurring, I can be more prepared for next time once the next winter months come back around.
