Does the cold weather affect you emotionally? [I Get Depressed]

The shifting of the seasons is what does it to me.

However, how badly depends on a large number of factors.

Right now, I'm mostly okay. In a month, I dunno.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons

I think my dad gets it, when the bad weather comes and can't get out as much.

It affects me, but for good. I feel more active and in a better mood in general.

Nope. After a while lonely is lonely no matter the season. It all merges into one long season decades long.

I was once as you though.... half my age ago.

Idk if its bc im a florida native & never experienced the dramatics of seasons but i feel full of life & vitality in winter lol.

Yes. And the darkness.

But I also get depressed in warm, sunny weather.

I am lonely and bored.

Me too, I try to make things cosy at home (nice decoration, dimmed lights, relaxing music,...) and try to occupy myself more than usual during that time ^^

Is it really the cooler weather or is it SADDS. Have you tried some kind of light therapy? Or asked your doctor to check your vitamin D levels?

It helps me sleep with blankets on and normal I feel better
