A therapist once told me that I have S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I thought that moving to a warmer, more sunny climate would help get rid of this problem. Unfortunately, I still have strong feelings of being "stifled" by cold weather, sometimes even being weepy or depressed for no other reason than it's dreary and gray outside.
Mind you, this doesn't happen that much here, but when it does, I find it hard to concentrate and accomplish things I would normally do. I put off exercising and sleep more than usual when the sun is away. I'm generally more pessimistic and negative when it's colder and gloomy too.
I know that weather can sometimes have a bearing on how people feel, but it's extremely strong for me. It's an inconvenient and stupid problem and I wonder if there is anyone who has this and maybe gotten over it.
