Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

Honestly I don't really like winter because that's when my seasonal depression starts coming in full effect

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I believe I have read read somewhere depression (or suicide I am not sure) is more common in summer. Which to me seems counter intuitive until I found out the main cause for this might be loneliness. So lonely people seeing other people getting together.

Would you say in your case depression worsens due longer nights or holiday season in December?

In my case, it's cause it's too hot to do anything and I can't fuckin' breath with all the plantmatter in the air. Non-winter seasons suck.

Have you tried using AC or drinking more water? Some anti-allergy meds would help too. At least it's not so cold during the summer that you don't want to do anything.

All of the above. It doesn't help enough to make it in any way comparable to winter.

AC is shit and can't handle much above 80 (most of June through october), I rent.

That sucks I'm sorry. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Maybe we can swap countries haha I'd love to live somewhere with AC and summer year round and not 99% humidity and an average temperature of 10c
