What's Your Sadness Type?

We'll help you figure out if your sadness is hormonal (excellent timing), seasonal (blame the sun), or genuinely persistent (ouch).

Hormonally Tragic

Your sadness arrives like clockwork, 7-12 days before your period. It's not you, it's your progesterone.

Seasonally Betrayed

October to March is your villain origin story. When the sun ghosts at 4pm, so does your serotonin.
