I have the opposite of SAD: my favorite time of year is the bit between the end of daylight savings time and the winter solstice. Sunshine and I are sworn enemies.
same hereWhatever sun I can get is helpful although the rest of the weather is hard on me.
Someone told me they use a tanning bed for the same thing. Maybe you can try that and see if it helps and spend very littlei try to be mostly agreeable, to make up for being quite a difficult patient at times
but maybe i won't spend as much as his suggestion

Exactly my point really... we're all either too hot or too cold. Even if you move to the equator where it's always warm...it's then too humidI have the opposite of SAD: my favorite time of year is the bit between the end of daylight savings time and the winter solstice.

Yup...here hot or cold it's mostly a blue sky.....that's why we moved here.I worship the sun
That sounds horrid for you. Exercise light or heavy is really good....often depression is a vicious circle of downs which prevents positive affirmations creating further downs....if that makes senseI crash twice a year. 3 month blocks winter and summer
My depression, lifelong and clinical, is better if I walk my dog twice a day. Just being out and about and moving outside helps. Gardening tooThat sounds horrid for you.

Yup I saw that there'd been some terrible wild fires around Oregon....I checked and you're Utah. My apologies if my geography is way off beam...I'm useless with most of the US!!Hasn't been a cloud in the sky for months here. (just smoke) I think I would opt for the clouds.![]()
Absolutely... especially gardening....it seems to have a therapeutic effect on everyone. Nature and activity rolled into one....My depression, lifelong and clinical, is better if I walk my dog twice a day. Just being out and about and moving outside helps. Gardening too
I wish we could swap weather for a week. We’re way over our average rainfall. It’s downright swampy in my yard.Hasn't been a cloud in the sky for months here. (just smoke) I think I would opt for the clouds.![]()

Loved gardening for decades. But, now, once I'm on the ground, ain't no getting me back up without contorting myself, causing great pain, or, the easier way, holler for someone to help. But all my gardening is of the indoor variety and I put most of my plants on my screened in deck to enjoy. Much easier on the body.Absolutely... especially gardening....it seems to have a therapeutic effect on everyone. Nature and activity rolled into one....![]()
