Don't Let Winter Ruin Your Life Like It Ruined Mine: My Confession
I've sailed more than a hundred cruises, and I'm finally admitting the real reason why. I have seasonal affective disorder, and every November when the clocks fall back, my mood leaves the building right along with the sun. In this video I break down what S.A.D. actually is, how common it is, and why I've decided to spend four months in South America, where the Christmas Day sunset doesn't hit until 8:44 p.m. I'll walk you through what it really costs, how the 90-day tourist stay works, the creature comforts you give up south of the equator, and the most important question of all, which is whether Emma gets to come. This video is not medical advice. If winter hits you harder than a case of the blues, talk to a doctor, because there are real treatments that work. If you're in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988 anytime. Have you tried a light box, a big move, or a winter of running away on cruise ships? Tell me in the comments what actually worked for you. #SeasonalAffectiveDisorder #MovingAbroad #Argentina
