And of course i would like Nike says, Just do it. Get out of bed and do what you have to for the whole day. Make plans to do with other people. Social engagement is imperative for the winters. I live next door in Vermont, i understand very well seasonal disorder. Our state has about 2000 mountains so the temps vary wildly throughout the state about 15.f. Reward yourself with fun things for getting up and doing. I hope this helps. And yes, we all eat in winter. That is just a fact of life. LOL

Thanks for the response. I won't be walking because of allergy to the cold temperatures. I rash up, my skin dries, my hands bleed, they sting too so much I feel like it burns. Inside is for me in the winter. Allergies. But I will be still doing normal things. I just feel really unmotivated right now. I also think it is part of ADHD (waiting on an assessment). How much is a sun lamp? I'll probably look it up anyways, but to compare prices. I guess I can try different vitamins. It can get up to -30 C here (probably 0 to -10 F I think). Again, thanks for the response [emoji3].
