Thanks.

I wonder if, when you read it back to yourself, you see any patterns? It seems that winter is particularly tough for you and I know that Michigan winters can be long. (I am now in Texas, from New York, and it's made a huge difference for me)
I spent just about all of that time in California. I don't have SADS but similar to it. It is very weird but one of my periodic depressions would always come in spring when it first started getting hot in CA. Last one lasted until the end of June even with all the nice weather before June. If I am severely depressed I want to hide from the nice weather. There is a pattern but a weird one. One doc called it a diurnal rhythm once. It is definitely harder in Michigan in the winters though. They are long. However if I feel good I will get out there and shovel snow like it makes no difference.
