The weather's changing, the days grow shorter, and the temperature drops below freezing...it's that time of year again.

What time is that? The time of year where:

  1. Your depression will become crippling
  2. Your alcoholism will sneak back in
  3. You want to, and unfortunately very possibly, kill yourself

So please understand seasonal depression. Please start doing small things for yourself, such as longer/hotter showers, 5-10 quick workouts here and there, chatting - even briefly - with close friends and family - even if it's just light banter.

And please keep your wits about you. Please be kind to yourself. Please remember you are competent, able, and capable of wonderful and amazing things.

And please, please, do not kill yourself. Please.

That is all. Be well, gents.
