How to Deal With SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) | Papaya Talk
In this episode, we’re chatting about what it's like to live in cold weather, specifically in Boston. Nadia shares her experiences and thoughts on the cold after being a California girl her whole life. We also discuss the effects of cold weather on the skin and allergies. We also touch on seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is a serious challenge for many who are already prone to depression and anxiety. We discuss light therapy as a potential way to mitigate the effects of the cold before jumping into more nuanced experiences with Boston’s cold like the challenges of slipping on ice, skincare, and going to work in this depressing weather. We finish by talking about dressing for parties in cold weather, the theft of jackets at parties (lol), and offer tips for dressing in cold weather. We finish this discussion by exploring tips and tricks for preparing for the emotional and physical challenges of attending college in a cold climate.
