I’ve never really got the whole winter gives depression thing. Yea theres less sunlight, but its not like i enjoyed every single minute of sunlight in summer. You can snowshoe or ski through the woods instead of hike. You can fish in a hut instead of off a boat. You can go weeeee down a big hill then realize your cardio sucks walking back up. Learn to dress adequately and for the most part the cold isn’t that big a deal. Sometime i do end up working through all the daylight hours but my job is often outside so i still catch some sun while on the clock.

I have been, then i do my best to stop the behaviors that are putting me there and start doing the stuff that alleviates it. I haven’t been clinically depressed or had it majorly derail my life but I’ve had some rough stretches.

Not all of us live in a place that actually gets snow when it gets cold. So you stay indoors cause you have fuck else to do, and the lack of sunshine just makes the seasonal depression that much spicier. Yeah you can bundle up, but like, if there’s nothing to do then why bother going out?

If theres no snow you can still go on regular walks or hikes. If the water isn’t frozen you can paddle and fish it. You can ride a bike down a big hill instead of sledding it. Theres still plenty to do snow or no snow.
