Seasonal depression

  I used to have seasonal depression. Then I moved to a tropical country on the equator.

  Now I just have regular depression.

    I thought that’s where it came from, living in places without seasonal changes

      Seasonal depression comes from the lack of light in winter at higher latitudes. My days are 12 hours of sun (+- 30 minutes) every day all year round.

    Hey dont worry, a few times a year you get to look at clouds coming in, the wind pick up alarmingly and get to experience “Am I going to have a house in 3 hours?” Anxiety.

      I don’t get what you’re saying. We have strong thunderstorms but nothing on the order of hurricanes or cyclones. The city I live in is called the city of eternal spring because the weather is always spring like. Sunny and mild.

    Don’t worry, in a couple of years it’s going to become a Tropical Depression

  Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.

  I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.

  I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.

  I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees. Image

  I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something.

    Maybe healthy interior design needs to look more like a terrarium.

      Windows are expensive and developers want to maximize profit, so spec-built homes often have the minimum amount of fenestration required by the building code.

      I would like that, the structure would not.

      For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.

    This was me this past Tuesday. Full arms out, tee and shorts, soaking up every last drop of warmth like a starved plant.

    Hopefully it’ll sustain until proper spring but it was glorious for that moment.

      Maybe I’m just a pessimist these days but all I could think about the whole time was, it’s 72F in fucking February, I might legitimately die working out here when June or July roll around. Summer is going to be real bad here.

  I’m the opposite. I fuckin love going for a walk in the chilly, crisp air when it’s cold out. Also less people and it’s quieter.

    I like the rain. Stay inside, open a window or a door. Watch and listen to the rain. Or go out in a covered area like a porch.

  Surviving through November in Finland is good enough.

  I’ve personally never felt down because there being less light. Summer there’s too much and winter there’s too little, but I’m lucky that it doesn’t affect me much.

    some vitamin d supplements and we’re good

    • Kusimulkku@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I don’t usually do those. I have multivitamins always at home but I just never remember to take them. Too forgetful in the mornings.

      Well, I keep my vitamin D levels high for actual MD reasons, and I guess I’ve been enjoying the winter weather.

      Good vitD levels don’t get rid of other types of being fucked up, unfortunately.

  I don’t understand. Please explain.

    In basic terms. Humans have a hibernation instinct, from somewhere in our past. When the days start to get short, and we get less sunlight, our brain tries to kick this in. It makes us want to be lethargic and sleep a lot. Unfortunately, modern life isn’t conducive to this. When you push past it, the effects are very similar to depression.

    Different people are affected to different degrees. Some are downright miserable, others unaffected. It’s also possible to treat it. Sun lamps can trick the brain into thinking it’s not winter, as vitamin D. The effectiveness of this can vary, however, and it doesn’t compete with the real sun jumpstarting your brain back to full functionality.

      Unaffected gang checking in. I’m also lactose tolerant and I have the extra tendon in my thumb. If anyone suffers from SAD, I recommend drinking a gallon of milk a day.
