I take vitamin D to stave off seasonal depression. I also try to consume greens in some form every day (sauteed spinach, kale in my soup, a green juice or smoothie, etc.), and that also seems to help.

@spiderdust I have been on vitamin d for years.We had spinach,kale?maybe.

@amadeo Given your anemia, I'm not surprised you're on vitamin D. I've considered getting a "happy light" as well.

I don't tend to get depressed in the winter, I enjoy it. The only thing I don't like is driving around in the dark. I don't like our endless summers of terrible, humid weather.

We don't have winter in the Philippines so I'm not sure if the onset of the monsoon rainy season will set off seasonal affective disorder (SAD) similar to your winter blues.

@amadeo _The rainy season commence on June but it's usually during Sept to October when typhoons (hurricanes) occur. But with climate change, the weather has become erratic.
