is it me or is this time a year produce depression

Can people tell me if I am alone in this? I mean I am getting better but the weather really gets me down. I know they say you know that there is no bad weather day but just weather you are not dressed for and you should make the most of every day whether is cold as balls out and dreary but the lack of sunlight depresses me. and the fact that it gets so dark out early.

does weather truely make other people depressed too or is it more about genes and perception? are there some people that are never affected by the weather, do people who are depressed by the weather ALLOW themselves to get depressed by the weather.

i just cant seem to shake my depression completely. i mean its getting better but i have to watch my negative thoughts or else i can go in a down ward spiral. maybe my mind if kind of conditioned to be kind of dreary as well. i dont know

anyone wanna speculate or note on this be my guest!

Thank you for your encouraging note, Scalene! It’s so nice to know that other people understand these awkward moments, uncomfortable feelings. I am largely weather unaffected. However, my partner Noel can’t stand the winter – and this is a recent thing for him – and is in Barbados now, recharging his batteries. I think what you’re experiencing is real. Real for you and a good many others.
