Things have been out of control in  the last few months I wonder if it's temperature change or the Moon or maybe my brain is just going through a different phase...

You may be on to something! You said maybe it's the Moon. If you meant the recent eclipse, I'm here to tell you I was messed up for more than a week when that s--- went down!

We are coming up on the autumnal equinox (September 22) which we experience before the winter solstice. (December 21) I think it's a mistake to think that these natural events don't affect us!

Yes I find it does affect me too. My energy is been all wonky for weeks and it always gets a little different during all the October full moons. Sometimes it's a positive swing though in the fall for me so crossing my fingers it will be for all of us!

I'm always aware of the season changes, the spring, and summer are my best times.
I've been using a sad lamp for the last couple of years, it definitely helps, and some exercise, cardio, and light weight s couple of times a week.oh and meditation has helped a lot to calm them wild thoughts.
