I used to have seasonal depression. Then I moved to a tropical country on the equator.
Now I just have regular depression.
I thought that’s where it came from, living in places without seasonal changes
Seasonal depression comes from the lack of light in winter at higher latitudes. My days are 12 hours of sun (+- 30 minutes) every day all year round.
Hey dont worry, a few times a year you get to look at clouds coming in, the wind pick up alarmingly and get to experience “Am I going to have a house in 3 hours?” Anxiety.
I don’t get what you’re saying. We have strong thunderstorms but nothing on the order of hurricanes or cyclones. The city I live in is called the city of eternal spring because the weather is always spring like. Sunny and mild.
Don’t worry, in a couple of years it’s going to become a Tropical Depression. Way better, you’re still happy even when everything around you is falling apart.

Maybe healthy interior design needs to look more like a terrarium.

Windows are expensive and developers want to maximize profit, so spec-built homes often have the minimum amount of fenestration required by the building code.

This was me this past Tuesday. Full arms out, tee and shorts, soaking up every last drop of warmth like a starved plant.
Hopefully it’ll sustain me until proper spring but it was glorious for that moment.
Maybe I’m just a pessimist these days but all I could think about the whole time was, it’s 72F in fucking February, I might legitimately die working out here when June or July roll around. Summer is going to be real bad here.
I’m the opposite. I fuckin love going for a walk in the chilly, crisp air when it’s cold out. Also less people and it’s quieter.
I like the rain. Stay inside, open a window or a door. Watch and listen to the rain. Or go out in a covered area like a porch.
Surviving through November in Finland is good enough.
Finally the fucking winter is over. I was so irritated. No one believes me.
Wtf? What hemisphere are you in?
Mate, hate to break the news to you but you’re in the minority.

Try not to fall off the ass-end of the earth 😂
That’s a pretty neat map. And what do you know, the center of humanity is Switzerland!
It’s more exclusive here, away from you northerners
Fuck i need to go outside
Posts like this reminds me that good weather is getting closer… Not too long now!
Just happened today. Music on the radio was suddenly great.
Sun in February? Try April or May.
Had that recently, it was great
FYI: Light therapy lamps are cheap and effective.
Hahaha holy fuck is this ever true.
I’ve personally never felt down because there being less light. Summer there’s too much and winter there’s too little, but I’m lucky that it doesn’t affect me much.
some vitamin d supplements and we’re good
I don’t usually do those. I have multivitamins always at home but I just never remember to take them. Too forgetful in the mornings.
I rely on them in the winter. I used to get really miserable from around November onwards but now I take one daily and I’m only moderately miserable
Multivitamins don’t work well, get the individual vitamins.
Well, I keep my vitamin D levels high for actual MD reasons, and I guess I’ve been enjoying the winter weather.
Good vitD levels don’t get rid of other types of being fucked up, unfortunately.
had this today, felt chumbawamba tubthumping
