Hello and I'm Galenta Greenburg and today we're here with a little feedback.

Hello and welcome to How to Be Fine. I'm Kristen Meinzer.

And I'm Galenta Greenberg and today we're here with a little feedback episode for you.

That's right. Every third week we share some of the stories you are

listeners have shared with us about the topics we've most recently covered on the show.

Because a lot of you write in and a lot of you have super great things to say.

Today's topics are seasonal effective disorder and the great divorce.

Jalenta, shall we start off with all the listeners who had thoughts on seasonal

effective disorder, aka sad?

Yes, let's do it. So many of you wrote in to say that our episode helped you

to understand yourself better. We love that. Oh my gosh. Yeah that made me so

happy because so much of our show is just, you know, us diving into things we're curious about, but if we can help people understand themselves better, that makes it even better. So much better. So much better.

So Claire wrote in to say,

I've not listened to all of this week's episode yet,

but my mind is blown.

I have sad and my mood is so extremely affected by weather. I will literally feel my

mood lighten as the sun emerges on a cloudy day, but also my eyes are so sensitive to light.

I wear sunglasses pretty much year round and cannot

go outside without them in the summer. The idea that these two things are

connected and what that research might mean for me is kind of exciting.

That's very, very cool.

I also wear sunglasses year round, so welcome to the club.
