I assume many of you also have a reocurring cycle of your moods. My own worst time of year is the onset of summer. I become gripped with Depression. It has been bad enough some years I can't cope and have been hospitalized.

My own triggers are seeing the signs of other people's ability to adventure; like bikes, canoes, and kayaks on vehicle roof racks. Even advertisements for outdoor gear and hiking footwear trigger me. Last week I had a provincial parks publication in my mailbox. I cried for hours even though I refused to open it.

I not only feel Depressed but a measure of resentment sweeps over me too.

This change of mood has me worried. Wintertime I battled Anxiety rather successfully. The skills I learned in therapy though don't seem to translate to coping with Depression.

I hate that this happens to me.
