Good question. Hard to say from my standpoint. I have gone into downward spirals the last two September/October time periods. Went into a bad spiral last June. Suicidal for a good part of last summer. Am wondering if I'm going to be hit again next month. I'm not sure what triggered it last summer unless it was just the impending mid-July first anniversary of my husband's leaving and my mother's death (oh, and you can throw in my 13th wedding anniversary. She died the day after my 12th.) I went into a bad spiral last month.
I'm hoping the recent and (seemingly) successful change in meds will keep me afloat through this summer.
This isn't an answer, I see now. I guess, yes, I have been in a summer slump. I hope it isn't seasonal like the fall one, or I may as well just pack it in 'cause then I'll be mostly year-round (I guess I already am) with worsening at the beginning of the seasonal change and pure hell for the duration.
