Winter depresses me
posted December 7th, 2019 at 2:06 PM
I hate this time of year. The short days kill me. I feel asleep at work in the mornings. Twinkly lights everywhere emphasize the black nights. The commercial Christmas pressure makes me feel empty and sad. I feel like not moving and sleeping all day. I never feel this way in the summer. Plop me barefoot on a patch of sand and let me watch the sunset at 9pm and I feel like that is the best part of the day. I’m not meant for dark, boots, heavy coats, indoor time, fluorescent lighting and Xmas jingles. If I had a spare $1000 I’d fly the fuck South. Maybe I was Cuban in my previous life.

I experience the same energetic variances between the dark and light seasons. If I could I would hibernate with an alarm set for spring.
Aww

I feel like that too at the beginning of each winter but I force myself to work out, take 5htp, Vit D. Nurture yourself and make healthy food. Hang out with healthy people. Spring will be here before you know it!
Sooooooooo

I get it. But I LOVE this time of year. The dark, boots and twinkly lights. Interesting how we are all so different about seasons.

Winter would be a lot easier to deal with if people in this city were friendlier.
further south

Sounds like you should move to Australia so that it'll be summer during Christmas.

PLEASE get yourself a proper therapy light box. It will change your life. :) Good recommendations on the UBC mood disorder SAD webpage.
Amen

This is no place to live. For half the year anyway

Invest in a SAD light! Much less expensive than traveling south, and they really help! Some retailers will even rent them to you so you can try for a few weeks before buying.
