I have a history of seasonal affective disorder and normally deal with depression during the winter, but it's never hit me quite like this year. The past few weeks I've been getting lots of random anxiety attacks, intrusive thoughts about the concept of death and non-existence, questioning my faith, etc etc etc... Basically an existentialist crisis out of nowhere, which I've only ever experienced when I was really physically sick.

I started taking ashwagandha and bought one of those therapy lights, and not to jinx it, but after a few days of them, I feel like my mind is a little more calm and not obsessively returning to dark scary shit? But it could also be placebo effect, who knows. I'm actively looking for a therapist because at this point it's so bad that it's interfering with my daily life.

Anyway, anyone else experience this kind of shit during winter with SAD?
