Sometimes when we’re not feeling good, we need to talk to someone, or cry with someone or get outside to be around someone or call someone and hear their caring voice… basically pain + someone in real time = feeling a bit better

Recognizing the winter blues signs early can help you take proactive steps. You might notice:

Sleeping more but still feeling tired
Low motivation and energy
A desire to hibernate once it’s dark
Loss of interest in socializing or hobbies
Craving sugar, carbs, and comfort foods
Feeling “lazy” or unproductive
Shopping or spending impulsively for a quick dopamine boost
Increased screen time, snacking, or substance use

When everyday tasks start to feel like heavy lifting, it’s time to take action. How do you combat the winter blues when you recognize these signs?

The third week of January - Day - this is the time of the year that we see an alarming amount of mental health concerns - but why? Canadians are particularly vulnerable because of our long winters and limited sunlight. But even without a formal diagnosis of SAD ( ), many of us—adults, teens, and even children—notice a seasonal drop in mood and motivation.

Every fall in my counselling practice, I hear the same concerns:

“That familiar drop in mood is starting again.”
“I hope I don’t feel like I did last winter.”
“I’m worried it’s coming back.”

When you leave for work or school in the dark and return home after sunset, it’s no wonder our energy dips. Our biological rhythms, hormones, and neurotransmitters are all influenced by light exposure—and the lack of it can take a toll.

If you're recognizing these signs in yourself, or someone you care for, be proud of your ability to recognize these signs, but also look for ways to incorporate structure and resilience in your life. The winter doesn’t have to mean months of low energy, gloom and unhealthy coping strategies. We're here if you need someone to talk to.
