This post is for anyone struggling this season.
The wasteland between Xmas & New Year can be one of the lowest times of the year. And for those with seasonal affective disorder (or any form of mental illness worsened by Winter) the prospect of Jan-March is nothing to look forward to.
You're not alone. Let's hibernate in books.

pickMy first book of graphic poetry - the text is simple but the illustrations are exquisite. This asks the big questions - who are you when you‘re alone? It‘s about loneliness, love and just existing.
It reminds me of a series of poetry I handed in, in my last year of high school, that my friend was absolutely incensed that I got an A+ for 🤣 because it was deceptively simple.

Ooh - she‘s reading library books this long weekend!!!
pickRaw visual poetry about loneliness, love, how the two might intersect, and the wildness of life. It‘s quite sad, and I see myself in some of these images when my mental health is taking a turn…. I felt connected to this in that way. #foundonlitsy #bookspinbingo #doublespin

(I'm ashamed to admit under these circumstances that I actually quite like winter - an excuse to get all cosy on the couch and read... ❄️🧣 But I agree the darkness is harsh sometimes - especially when dealing with mental health issues... *blush* Bsbsbsbssss... *mumble* 😅
Hang in there, sweet Rae! 13mo
