Hi- I’m Mallory and my pronouns are (she/hers). I'm a Teen Therapist with a counseling practice based in Woodbridge, CT. This channel is dedicated to helping YOU improve your mental health!
The rates of teens struggling with suicide and self harm are rising and I want to reverse that trend! That’s why on this channel you’ll find I share a lot about coping with anxiety, depression, alternatives to self harm and how to talk to parents and other grown-ups about these challenges.
My biggest hope is to increase mental health awareness and break the stigma of talking to a therapist so teens can get the help they deserve and need right here, right now.

I get so depressed during summer, I don’t know but I just hate when it’s bright outside all the time and so hot. And all the green leaves make me claustrophobic in some way.. I just feel so much happier when it’s dark outside and all the leaves are on the ground!

I feel that summer break gets me really down because I put so much expectation on myself to be getting SOOOO much done but I end up making myself feel bad and lying in bed because I don’t feel good which makes me feel worse so it’s a spiral.

@mallorygrimste Жыл бұрын

Totally understandable- try starting small with just one thing you can do to get you one step closer. Could be as simple as brushing your teeth, or making a list of tasks. Once you start going you can decide whether to keep going or if that’s it for today :)

I am glad more people are talking about this. I feel AWFUL in the summer. It's often too hot, too bright, and the air is stale. My feet swell, I just retain more water in general and feel lethargic and bloated. Nothing looks good on me and I gain weight more than lose. As a woman, these are the months my period pains are worse as well. All this makes me feel miserable. I'm in the east coast, so I am blessed to have seasons. As soon as the leaves start to fall, every cell in my body feels activated. I even go to the beach in the Fall and Winter months.

I always disliked summer and the heat. I hate the feeling of the sun on my skin it always feel like burning no matter how much sunscreen I wear. This year has been the worst so far I feel like I can’t think, I lay awake for so long most nights no matter how tired, I am I feel full after eating very little and feel sick after, I dread doing anything especially going outside, I just feel miserable in general but what makes it worse is that nobody ever understands at least none around me

I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this. This definitely sounds like something to explore with your primary care physician, too since there’s a physical element to your experience.

The fact people need to be reminded to brush and floss is concerning. For me summertime blues happens because of expectations. The sun's shining, everyone seems to be enjoying the rays, but I'm sad and I don't know why. Being concerned for how things should be. It's ok to feel blue in Summer but getting upset with urself for being that way just makes things worse. When I was younger I'd count the days till summer was over and being worried I was running out of time, but summer will come again.

That’s Depression for you though- sometimes the basics take all the effort during the low lows. Great strategy to reframe!! Love it Glen!!

Did you ever find a solution i have also found the main cause is this stress from expectation i put on myself to complete all these things i said i would do and when summer came it seemed like to much and it spiralled.

ah man i’m really struggling with the social stuff right now. like yes it was midday and I hadn’t left my bed yet, but I have this thing where I’m okay with spending time with people in the school year, but outside of that I feel like no one likes me and I don’t like to annoy them by reaching out. never been in their main group you know. it’s difficult spending every day home alone as well. my siblings aren’t even coming home this summer. thank you for the tips

i feel like i have both summer AND winter seasonal depression, like any huge change in season triggers it. i’m fine during spring and fall, but when temperatures/seasons go to extremes…

@mallorygrimste 3 ай бұрын

Makes total sense to me! Especially since stress is literally our response to any change. And when we experience stress, we can experience vulnerabilities to other mood changes, too. Especially if our window for tolerating change/stress is tight. Hope you're able to use these strategies to help you out!! 💛
