Autumn and winter tend to trigger some depressive episodes, so... already trying to fix it before I become so fogged by depression that I end up losing my normal self.

Vitamin D is my first step. Second step is going back to medication (prob. lithium as lamotrigine was not great last time). Lithium might be a good idea to prevent the hypomania and mania in spring and summer, and might even help with my mood during the menstrual cycle (PMDD).

I wish I felt euthymic/stable all the time, but I guess I should be thankful that at least I know all the ✨ UK Bipolar Scale™ ✨ moods and, with it, I know things can get better, my outlook can improve, it's just a matter of shift again from this depression to something else. The hard part is to remember or believe it, huh?

Thank you for the post.
