winter blues

Ah yes, the winter blues otherwise known as SAD (Season Affective Disorder). I hate the cold. I hate snow. I hate short daylight hours. So yeah, I get it too. Any winter is too long for me.

This winter has been one of the most unusual and severe winters in a number of years. Heavy snow, blizzards, icy road conditions, foggy and gloomy. One often gets stuck in the house for days. That really makes it hard to pass through the miserable winter days. Keep hoping for warmer and sunny days !

You just described last year. Snowmaggedeon hit and I couldn't go anywhere! Thankfully we kept our power so there was internet! But this year h=we had some snow but not to much... to Date! I haven't had the winter blues. Between being in love , being busy at work and watching some t.v. shows I like and Some hockey , I have been ok. Hang in there march is on the way which means spring and tge hockey playoffs are not too far behind!

I don't have winter blues.But i don't prefer that season as compared to the spring.My health problems become more severe in winter.Luckily for me winter is chilly but not extremely cold here.

The winter blues, I know it well. I don't mind the winter but when it takes a long time to go away it starts to affect you. I to get lifeless and depressed when the winter is long. I try to keep busy that seems to help but does not take away the feeling completely.

It can really start to wear on you when winter just drags on and on. I remember one particularly harsh winter in north Idaho. My husband and I had just moved to the state from Texas. That in it's self was a huge change. I had never experienced such a hard winter. My husband couldn't work due to the weather so we were snow bound for a few weeks til the weather broke. We would get dressed everyday in all our winter clothes... layers of warm clothes topped by heavy coats, gloves, hats sunglasses, scarves and heavy boots. Then we would head out. We walked the neighborhood then walkked to the store for a soda and a candy bar. We did that evry day. I think it saved our sanity. I had a terrible case of cabin fever and getting out in the fresh air and bright sunshine (when the sun was out) was what saved me from a terrible bout of depression. Even if it was cloudy out we'd still go. Just get out of the house. I'm back in Texas now and we don't get such harsh winters here. We may have a couple of days of really bad stuff but nothing like you have to go through. I would suggest you try getting out everyday and taking a walk if possible. As long as it's not raining you should be able to bundle up and bear it. Fresh air is good for you.

Winter's always too long, in my opinion... Today, we have wet snow... and I have a slight migraine.

Yes, I hate the so called winter blues! This is such a depressing time of year and I think that the whole weather system is going downhill! When it's cold I generally feel weak and tired and I genuinely think that the state of the weather determines what our mind will be whether it be positive or negative! I never used to use the heating in my flat but now I have arrived at the decision that I will keep the heating on daily, at least until the weather improves and it becomes warmer. I'm an enthusiastic cyclist but I'm struggling right now! I don't enjoy cycling when it's cold but prefer warmer weather with the sun shining on my face, nice! I don't like getting wet whilst on the bike as it creates a tremendous clean up job, it's just not worth it! So, the heating is on in my living room and I will be relaxing in there for a few hours today with a good book and lots of cups of tea! Andrew

I actually haven't gotten them as bad this year. Usually by this time of year I'm feeling pretty down and just ready for summer - warmth and sunshine make me happy!! While I'm ready for spring to finally pop its head out, I'm not feeling quite as sad this year. Quite thankful for that!

People's feelings change with the circumstances.In winter the sky is often covered with dark clouds even the snow flakes are falling thick and fast.Indoors windows and doors are closed.No wonder we feel constrained.On the contrary ,if It is a sunlit and enchanting scene of spring,we surely feel happy and joy.
