winter
During the winter i always get really depressed for some reason. So i try to keep myself really busy so im not thinking to much, but that only works for a little while. I was wondering if that happens to anyone else, like you feel depressed during the winter? I think its really weird, and also besides just keeping myself busy what else could i do, whithout having to talk to someone or take anything? Bc already its hitting me and winter is a longggg season. Well any advice would be helpful, thanks :)

It sounds as though you have SAD (season affective disorder), it's very common for people to have this disorder.
SAD (season affective disorder) is a form of depression which is brought on by lack of natural light.
SAD makes the sufferer feel depressed which causes sleep and emotional problems. It is important for a person with SAD to get as much natural light as possible as this will really help to ease the depressive symptoms.
Natural light encourages action of the pituitary and pineal glands, this controls the release of hormones into our body that are closely linked to moods and emotions.
Everyone needs at least half an hour of natural light a day, this means to actually be outside in it without screens or sun glasses.
How to increase natural light:
Keep windows clean and open them
Draw curtains as far back as they will go and keep blinds up during daytime
Move anything away from windows that obstructs light such as plants and orniments
Put up mirrors opposide windows in rooms that don't have much natural light coming through
If possible, create skylights and sunrooms to benifit from sunlight
Sit outside as much as possible and get as much fresh air as you can, even though it is cold the light will really help to ease the depressive symptoms
Depressive symptoms can be improved within two to four days when a person is exposed to full spectrum lighting (as much natural light as possible).

Well i get the same way every winter, i mean i love winter and christmas. But thinking about it i think i know why. i mean were stuck in some kinda of building all the time never going anywhere and we just die of bordem. we cant go outside, and if we do we have to wear layers of clothing and its still not good enough and no one wants to really do anything. Well idk what i can say to get rid of the depressed feeling but try having frineds over or go there play games idk do stuff i mean it might get rid of it. try it and i hope i helped.
