Im pretty sure this is known as seasonal depression. Unfortunately it does affect a lot of people. Its cause is because its winter there is less sunlight, and the day gets darker a lot earlier so theres is less vitamin D for you to get. Research indicates that there is a strong link between vitamin D deficiency and anxiety as well as depression. I too get like this. Personally i try and be outside as much as i can - even if its cold. You can get small amounts of vitamin D from just being outside even if theres no sun. Another advice would be to take some vitamin D supplements for the winter. I make sure i take general multivitamins this time of year. Hope this helps :)

Rarely anymore since I've moved South the weather is basically the same year round and no snow. However, the time change and getting dark earlier throws me off and I feel less productive with my time even knowing it's only 5pm. I kind of end the day there which isn't good and makes me feel pretty bad. I do try and push myself and do small things that would normally lighten my mood.

I get this way on the summertime. It's known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Sounds like seasonal affective disorder…. I get it real bad too. I live in a very cold depressing area. I have my psych up my antidepressant during the fall/winter to help balance it out

lol. I live in IL but close to St Louis, MO. It was still 80-100 degrees in October here. And every year we have a few days of January where it's 70 degrees.
