Yes, this will be quite the challenging Saturn return, because it is far more for you than just a Saturn return. It will go something like this beginning December 2016 ...Phase 1 - Saturn moves into conjunction with your natal Mercury, causing you to probably have to say 'goodbye' to something or someone in your life that is no longer appropriate for you.
Phase 2 immediately following - Saturn return begins. Serious thought will have to be given to how/where you may have over-extended yourself, and how to reorganize your life.
Phase 3 begins by 2nd week of Dec 2016, before conjunction to natal Sun - Saturn parallel natal Sun - Limitations to energy/commitments, reining in energy output for a while to accomplish these things.
Phase 4 begins in early Jan 2017 - Saturn makes conjunction to natal Uranus. This one can be hard on the nerves, feeling quite stressful especially for freedom-loving individuals whose lives are normally spontaneous or impulsive. It forces one to at least temporarily cut away those activities that have no current pragmatic value in keeping your life on track. Diversions in which you have indulged yourself may be put aside for a while. Expect difficulties with tech/computers, possibly requiring you to go without one temporarily.
This latter phase may introduce the most stressful part of all of it, because Saturn will also move into square with natal Nodes, which can mean a time of obstruction in moving forward, along with doubts about your purpose/direction in life and the need to feel that what you commit to is truly worthwhile. This is normal for anyone going through those transits.
Unfortunately, Saturn will go retrograde in 2017 and come back later for another pass over all these points in direct motion, causing the transits in total to last through 2017.
This too shall pass.
