  • That's about right. I HATE Winter - it's not just the basics, but I'm terrified of it. I hate snow, cold, driving in snow, the grayness, etc.

    I count the days until Summer.

  • I've heard people with bipolar disorder say that they get manic episodes during the summer. This is when their mood swings to the opposite of depression, with restlessness, anxiety, hyperactivity, they seem like they are on cocaine and they lose their judgement and self-control. I don't know if this is a common pattern, but anyone whose mood changes in a yearly or other pattern needs to see a doctor, not just tough it out, like I did for too long.

  • @PJownsyoursoul Unfortunately, the thing is, SAD isn't about consciously hating the weather or counting until warmer weather is here. I mean, I have SAD and I find snow to be beautiful. It's about your body telling you to be depressed beyond the normal dislike of winter.

  • This is precisely why I hate living in Michigan so much. When I can finally afford it, I'm moving to Colorado, where in certain areas, there are 300 days of sun a year!

  • I'm bipolar. I totally agree with you.

  • Why am I always sad I don't understand

  • @apxeli How are you just latley freind?

  • DOES ANYONE SUFFER HIGH ANXIETY WHEN ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT WHEN ITS DARK OR CLOUDY OUTSIDE.

  • I'm Brazilian, and I just can't even bother eating as I live in London. The lack of sunlight is just so hellish for me. I'm considering going back everyday, I've been here for 4 years, and nothing gives me what I want.

  • man, im pretty SAD.

  • sooo true im so depressed in winter to the point i throw up from anxiety, in summer im fine

  • @apxeli Fight it, you have nothing to lose. Get a hobby if you have to, it should keep you distracted from this during winter time.. hope that's a little helpful..
