Seasons Survey
Hi friends. I am researching the topic of seasons - both in the natural world and in our personal lives as well. I am interested to discover "seasons of life" that are somewhat universal to the human experience, as well as seasons that are not as commonly shared. I also want to explore the parallels within our own human experiences to the processes that are found within nature. 

This survey is anonymous - your responses will not be linked with you in any way; even I cannot see who has submitted each response.

There are many definitions of the word season when you look it up in a dictionary.
Of course, the most common usage of the word season is in relation to a period of time characterized by a particular climatic feature or marked by a particular activity or event (for example, winter, or the Christmas season). I am more interested in the archaic version of season. There are two definitions to take note of:
1. Season can mean a proper or suitable time ("to everything there is a season").
2. Season can mean an indefinite or unspecified period of time; a while ("this most beautiful soul, who walked with me for a season in this world"). 

So for the sake of this survey, when I say season, I mean a phase of life where you may or may not notice specific patterns or common features.

Do you experience Seasonal Affective Disorder* (seasonal depression)

*Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — seasonal affective disorder (SAD) begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with , your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. These symptoms often resolve during the spring and summer months. Less often, causes depression in the spring or early summer and resolves during the fall or winter months (Mayo Clinic, 2021).

Thank you!
Hi friends! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my survey. I am very grateful. I am also very much looking forward to compiling the data and applying it to my research. 

That being said, if you aren't tired of this endless list of questions or you want to discuss this further, I would absolutely love that.
