30. Dealing with DEPRESSION During the Holiday Season

Hi everyone, so last night on my instagram: @reganneobrien I did a little livestream talking about dealing with depression during the holiday season and what that looks like. On today's podcast I am going to expand on that and talk more in depth on this topic for you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families if you need support from me I am here for you! Remember to get professional help if your depression feels overwhelming and you can always call a depression hotline to talk...

Why might you be facing depression this holiday season?

Loneliness
LOSS of loved ones this past year
Another year of the COVID-19 pandemic

What does it look like? How do I know I may be depressed this holiday season?

If you are very tired and have less energy than normal
If you have been isolating yourself from others
If you feel overly stressed, anxious or sad thinking about the holidays

Here are some tips I have to overcome depression during the holidays:

Surround yourself with whoever you know that can support you!
Do something that makes you happy or helps someone in need!
Give yourself a gift you always wanted! What is one thing only you can do for you?! Give yourself that gift this holiday season! SELF CARE MATTERS!
