I’m finding it difficult to shake off a low mood. Oddly, it started last month when the clocks went forward. My energy levels are quite flat, too. Everything seems like a really big effort. Usually, this is my best time of year as I love the longer days and the signs of spring bursting through.

The changing of the clocks combined with the change of season can disrupt our circadian rhythm, although it is typically the autumn shift that disrupts our mental and physical wellbeing.
