I get it too, exact same way - never noticed/understood it until I moved back north after many years in the sun belt.

Norcal has pretty mild winters, but it's the early sunsets and overall gloom that gets me down this time of year.

 

i was just about to say are you in tx


i didnt understand it i woke up this morning went to class it was hot as hell

i left class and it was freezing...

its nice now high 30's i think or low 40's

 

i definitely get S.A.D. i hate the winter. i usually just come home from work, curl up on the couch and watch way too much tv and nothing gets done. it's why i want to move to SoCal, but the wife won't budge.

 

Yeah I get it, my brother gets it really bad though. He moved from Toronto (not overly rainy but winters can get a little dreary) to Vancouver (definitely rainy but not overly snowy. Still drab.) to now living in England (WTF?)

He's moving back to Canada in 6 months.


Keep posters and pictures on your walls of nice sunny hot places and go hit up a tanning bed. I don't care how tan I am but really enjoy how when you go in there and close your eyes you could be on a beach or a dock somewhere. Very relaxing and refreshing.

 

Go tanning, go on a cruise to the Carribean.

 

I'm happier in the warmer weather/longer days, better for top down driving.

 

Even if its around 60 degrees, you can still turn the heater on and drive top down! If it gets below 60, it blows!

 

I'll agree that the darkness at 5:30pm sucks but its hard to complain when its 70 in December


to all of you buried in snow

 

Moved to Michigan from Houston. Get really down in the winter, but tanning helps!
