I always dread the coming of Autumn and Winter, because of the shorter days and LOOOOOONG nights. I find my mood changes at night and I am different than I am during the day (quieter, more sensitive, wary). Is this normal or do I suffer from something ?

• I have heard of this before but I don't have the symptoms described. I eat/sleep normal and don't feel extra tired. The symptoms are almost entirely psychological, as shown in my question. There is a lower spirit/hope/optimism in me during this

• OK, well then possibly you have bouts of depression. Maybe see a psychologist,or counselor?

• But why do the feelings greatly intensify in the Autumn/Winter? I'm not like this during Spring & Summer.

• The feelings intensify because there is not enough sun light and that alone is depressing. Days are shorter, we wake its dark we come home from work its dark.
