Perhaps, the sun's rays have vitamin D and I prefer sunny days rather than cloudy
-
Yes I do have problems with it. Summer and winter I'm usually alright but fall and spring really screw up my moods.
-
Sure thing; winter is hell and long runs of overcast days aren't too great either.
-
Only in the winter

Something like that. I thought about this very thing today. Just moved from a sunny, warm, great environment to overcast, gloomy and cold. It's just kinda yucky here.

I get pretty irritable and lame in the summer months. I'm not sure if I have SAD, and I'm hesitant to say I do, because it may very well not be. I could just not like summer, like I used to think. But, I don't know. Anyway, a tentative yes.

Well, I'm definitely not happy that it's June 1st and still not even 60 degrees in upstate NY.

(((((POLICE)))))), I am always affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, every autumn and winter, especially up here in Canada. As soon as the days get shorter, especially in late October and November, a heavy, "depressing feeling" starts to set in. After 30 plus years of living like that, I finally realized that the weather/shortened daylight hours were causing me to feel "blue." So now, every fall and winter, I turn on ALL the lights inside the house to "extend" the daylight. That has helped a lot. But I can never fully escape the "blue feeling"----I go to work in the morning in the dark, and come home in the dark too. Yuck! The depressing feeling doesn't start to leave until late March or April, and when spring finally comes, it's like "Man, it was like living on a different planet, I can't believe I got through that!" Summers are okay, but even then I'm sometimes in a rut----you know the song "Cruel Summer"? I can relate to that song! Lol. But just identifying myself as having SAD makes things easier to handle. A lot of Canadians who live in our cold, dreary climate suffer from it.

Yes, to a degree. Agree with ShinyShoes, fellow Canadian.
