Seasonal Depression, MS Flare-Ups, and Saying “Fck It” to Strategy for the Summer
May fucked me up again… and I’m talking all about it.
In this episode of Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness, I open up about the annual fog that rolls in every May—like clockwork—and how seasonal depression hits me hard (yep, right during Mental Health Awareness Month… oh the irony).
I get real about what it feels like to hit that “what the hell is happening?” wall—chronic fatigue, brain fog, comfort food cravings, and MS flare-ups I hadn’t seen in a while. But in the midst of the mess? There was magic. My daughter turned 10, and joy reminded me I’m still here.
You’ll hear:
This one’s for anyone who’s felt like their body or brain hit the fuck this button and needs permission to unplug, reset, and breathe. You’re not broken. You’re rebooting.
