My sincerest sympathies to anyone who gets seasonal depression...but I don't get it. I actually loves the winter season. I love dressing in layers and going for morning dog walk breathing in the cold air. Doing a run in the cold with the air slicing through my lungs is the best. Slow cooker meals and soups. Staying indoors under thick covers with warm coffee and tea. Holiday decorations and movies/my music. God I love this time of year and I swear my mental health improves a whole grade level.

Anyone else on this site feel the same???

    I practically hibernate in the winter lmao. I physically lack the energy to do things and it gets dark so early that it feels like the day's over as soon as it began.

    I have a full spectrum lamp, which helps, but it's more like I go from 2/10 to 4/10 (which is still a significant improvement) than a full solution.

    Also I love swimming more than anything and swimming weather is still half a year away angery
