When I’m feeling really anxious, I like to eat vegetables. Now I know that we should eat veggies no matter what, but usually when I’m feeling anxious I’ve stopped eating all together or I’m eating tons of cheese and carbs.
Snacking on some carrots and hummus always makes me feel better (In addition to this amazing list you’ve compiled that is literally my routine!)

In reply to Annabella. Hi! I have Nature Bright and I do feel like it helps a little bit. It is definitely not cute but sometimes happiness > aesthetic, you know? :) Hope that helps!

I too suffer from SAD and am considering getting a lamp. As I began researching options the aesthete in me lamented…they’re all so ugly and the options felt over-whelming, as to what would be most effective. I am curious do you have a SAD lamp and if so, do you mind sharing what kind? Have you found it effective? Thanks for sharing.

So great your post – And also know that sometimes coping with anxiety won’t be as cute as practicing hygge. Sometimes it’ll be crying and just breathing. Sometimes it’ll just be trying.

Thanks Liz for a great article. I have experienced anxiety throughout my life. It has been my experience too that it can increase during the changes of the seasons. I appreciated your article. Your suggestions are right on.

Thank you so much for sharing this, as I struggle with anxiety pretty badly as well. I love to journal, meditate and do yoga but will have to incorporate some of these new items into my routine!

Sending lots of hugs and healing thoughts your way <3

I think I might be the only person in the world that actually likes the cold and shorter days. I enjoy staying home at night, cozy by the fire with a good book so I don’t mind the days getting darker sooner. Although, once it starts to get dark at 4pm, even THAT is a bit much for me. Thankfully I’ve never really struggled with SAD although my mom and sister definitely do. Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons so this is my happy time of year! I know, I’m strange lol.

Seasonal affective disorder generally impacts mood not anxiety state. That being said, anxiety can be caused by changes in environment or even the mentality we can take on during different seasons (a lot of us are more relaxed, procrastinate in the summer). Thank you for identifying helpful strategies for anxiety. I appreciate this as a therapist.

I definitely second working out regularly NON-NEGOTIABLE!I would say for me personally it is hard to do the more meditation classes such as yoga when dealing with seasonal depression. I opt out for more cardio classes such as kick-boxing and defense which I have found also help with feelings of empowerment as a woman. Thanks for sharing your tips!

I think I have it in reverse - I suffer from anxiety more during summer months than I do fall, ha. This was a very interesting post to read, thank you for sharing! ☼ cabin twenty-four

Love this, thanks LiZ! I suffer from SAD during the winter and have found myself getting anxious as the days get shorter and colder. Need to dig out my light box and remind myself to practice self-care. Oh and I love Alchemy too!!

I don’t have anxiety, but I do get waaay sadder during fall. I just can’t stand the cold and it makes me so uneasy to know that winter is soon coming. I’ve had bad cases of SAD every year, and I dread what is to come. Some of your tips are actually great advice for me too.
