Emotional Wellbeing in Winter

Do you find that your emotional or mental health shifts during the winter? I don't think so. I like the winter, and I grew up in farther north where there's lots of snow, so I enjoy the winter, as long as I don't have to shovel or walk in it. But But I don't, I've never felt like I had any kind of seasonal depression or anything like that. You know, I look forward to the change of seasons and winter, so I don't think that really makes a difference in my mental health. And what kind of support do you find helpful or wish you had to get through winter healthily? Well, my kids live, I'm in Owings Mills, my kids live over by White Marsh, so they're not right around the corner, but they're always there to help out with things. But my main thing is the neighborhood where I live is just absolutely fantastic. I have the best neighbors I've ever had in my entire life, and I can always count on I don't have to shovel because somebody will shovel my sidewalk or my driveway. I don't even have to ask most of the time. I just look outside and know it's already done. So I get a tremendous amount of support from neighbors. In fact, beginning of February, I was taking the trash out and I fell and I broke my elbow. I tripped over the bump in the sidewalk. And as I was laying on the sidewalk in the dark and in the rain, I couldn't get up at first because when I went to put my arm down, I realized that it was broken. But the first thought that came into my head was, thank God I live here because I know right now there's at least 10 neighbors that I can call for help. And that just makes a huge difference because I'm single and I live alone. But I have a fantastic support group right here in my neighborhood.
