We couldn't wait for summer. We always have high hopes for the summer. We are waiting for the rest to finally play the main role and in addition only extra, that the weather is also favorable, there is daylight for a long time.
As early as mid-June, children find themselves feeling liberated by the summer break. However, we know as a parent that for adults, summer is no longer just about rest and vacation. For most people, work dominates their everyday lives in the same way. Freedom, of course, is different. The size is usually timed for domestic or foreign travel. Most of the holidays take place in July or August, during which time both adults and children want to feel cloudless.
Then August strikes
However, August, especially the second half of it, is no longer certain to evoke that self-forgetful feeling in everyone. August is also the summer break and the last month of summer. He hints at the feeling that autumn is coming. And with the fall, school is expected to begin. For school-age children, August is a time of countdown, because then they already remember that school is starting slowly. Parents don’t let the kids forget all that either. Buying school supplies starting in mid-August lays the groundwork for a feeling that isn’t necessarily pleasant. However, negative thoughts and feelings may not only be characteristic of children. Starting school involves a lot of money, which puts a strain on parents' wallets. But not only this can cause a depressive mood.
In August, it becomes more and more noticeable that the days seem to pinch a few minutes, and then it becomes more and more clear that this is indeed the case.
Research has shown that if someone feels depressed in August, even though it’s summer, it’s a good time, and that uncomfortable feeling reigns in their lives for weeks, then surely the August depression has taken over. Yes, there is. We could also say that it is a seasonal depression. The same can occur even in winter, but also in spring.
The August lethargy may not dominate a person’s life for weeks. He may only steal a few days out of life. That is a weak form of seasonal depression. As much as it is strengthened in man, let us take it as a sign and sacrifice on the altar of rest. This is what our organization needs.
