Feeling a little sluggish or low in motivation during the winter is common… but when does it cross the line into something more?

Winter blues usually look like mild changes in energy and mood that come and go.

�Seasonal Depressive Disorder (SAD) is deeper, more persistent, and can impact sleep, appetite, motivation, and your overall ability to function.

Wondering how to spot the difference?

A few signs you may be more than winter blues:
�✔️ Your mood drop lasts most of the day, almost every day�
✔️ You start withdrawing from people or activities you normally enjoy�
✔️ Your sleep or appetite shifts noticeably�
✔️ You struggle to focus or get everyday tasks done�
✔️ You feel a heaviness that doesn’t lift with rest or routine changes

If this season feels heavier than usual, we’re here with support that’s grounded, practical, and personalized to what you’re experiencing!

As the year winds down, it’s tempting to rush into “new year, new me” energy.

Before you jump ahead, we recommend a quick check-in to bring clarity and direction.

Try reflecting on:��
❓What genuinely felt good this year?�
❓What drained your energy?�
❓Where did you grow (even in small ways)�
❓What supported you?�
❓What do you want to leave behind moving forward?

No pressure for perfect answers! Just notice what comes up and let it guide you as you step into the new year.

In addition to joy and festivities, the holidays can bring full schedules, family expectations, and extra emotional labor.

If you’re already feeling pulled in multiple directions, here’s a quick reminder to protect your energy this season.

A few simple boundaries that might be helpful:

✔️ Set your “bare minimum” and “maximum capacity” ahead of time
✔️ Practice one or two simple scripts (like “I’m not able to stay that long”)
✔️ Notice what your body feels like when a boundary is needed
✔️ Check in with yourself before saying yes
✔️ Share limits early so expectations stay realistic

Think about what you actually want this season. More quiet mornings? Smaller gatherings? Less pressure to explain yourself? Your preferences can guide your boundaries.

If holiday stress tends to hit hard, talking it through with a professional can make the season feel more manageable.

Our team at MLB Therapy in Leesburg can help you navigate tricky dynamics, communicate your needs, and stay grounded in what matters to you!

After a career in technology, Alex Taylor found his true calling - helping people navigate life’s challenges with more clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. Now a dedicated therapist at MLB Therapy, Alex works with teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, family dynamics, and major life transitions like divorce, career shifts, or relocation.

His approach blends evidence-based models like CBT and motivational interviewing with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), always tailoring each session to what a client truly needs.

Alex believes therapy should be a supportive, nonjudgmental space, one where you can sort through hard things, reconnect with your values, and begin to feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life.

He currently offers evening and Saturday morning appointments to support busy clients.
Outside the therapy room, Alex is a lifelong learner who enjoys hiking, camping, and traveling with his family. He’s committed to providing inclusive, culturally sensitive care for every client he serves.
