Dang I thought i was the only one. For many many years even on meds and in therapy my depression has been triggered by the change from spring to summer in CA. In CA this is like in April or May. The first week it started getting hot it would trigger a depression. For me it was never situaltional just biological seasonal trigger. When it happens I hate the sun and spring fever and all the lawn mowers and happy people. I close all the blinds and crank up the AC. Last year i was in a bad one all winter and spring, didn't snap out of it until June in Michigan. When it got nice my parents thought for sure that if I would get out on the deck and stuff I would get better. I had to tell them that at the time all I wanted to do was hide from the sun. My dad couldn't believe it because he kind of gets SADS about February in Michigan. The worst month in a long cold winter. When spring comes he is out shoveling snow from the snow bank into the driveway to make it melt faster. After shoveling the snow off the driveway all winter. He crazy. He will do anything to be out in the nice weather. Thank god my parents are so supportive anyway.

This spring is different. After a long depressed fall and winter my new meds are kicking in and I am actually starting to want to get out there.
