Does bad weather count for depression? I am so sick and tired of snow and cold! I want spring! I want to hear the birds singing and crickets chirping. I want to be able to walk my dog for his daily 30 min walk. With this huge snow storm we had (2 feet) I can't walk him. My car is bad in snow and ice too. Some people on this forum think people in DC area are wussies, but we aren't! This area isn't used to having this much snow. The last time this area ever got hit hard with snow was in Feb 2003. But it was much worse in Jan 1996. So it was a long time ago. This area is a huge area that plowing the streets still hasn't been done. We have so many major roads to get into DC too. The ramps to get into train stations are so slippery and terrible. I honestly can't wait till I see temps in the 70s. I hate wearing scarves, gloves and coats. Less stuff to carry the better. I was stuck at home for 3 days because no one can go anywhere. Cars got stuck in the snow. Tires spinning too. Accidents. Tons of black ice. I hate winter.

Yes you can. There is a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder or S.A.D and it's pretty much what it sounds like. People who have it get very depressed in the winter to the point where they need to sit infront of a UV lamp once a day and use things like daylight bulbs instead of normal ones. It's quite common fro what I can gather.

It's almost Christmas and it should be a time of fun and happiness since you get to be with family and friends. But it was happier when I was a child. Holidays has been hard for a year now because of my grandfather's death in Nov 2008. So his death AND the bad weather isn't really helping. I actually want the hot and humidity of DC summer now.

I hate cold weather. I hate it because its cold, and when it's cold I can't wear shorts. I hate long pants. Shorts are comfy. And shoveling snow SUCKS

Well the snow is starting to melt a little each day. It's sunny here today. It will be sunny for a while. Christmas we may get some rain, but the air will be warm so it may help with the snow on the residential areas. This year they did a terrible job of plowing our residential. Six years ago we had a huge snow storm and there were two huge trucks that plowed our streets. This time it was a small pick up truck. Even residential areas in DC were terrible too. Being at home for 3 days was the worst! I don't mind snow, just as long as it's not too much. Few inches is good. Thanks for the lamp idea. I think there is a BIG LOTS near us.
