How do you feel about winter?

I'm all about the clothes too. Snuggly, cuddly velvety love.

I LOATHE summer, so the three cooler seasons are where it's at for me. I *do* admit to a very severe problem with late November and early December tripped off (or exacerbated by, not sure) by existential angst. February/March can also be problematic, but not always. But overall, despite LOTS of gray and rainy, I'm good with it. (A long spell of unrelenting heavy rains will start to get to me though.)

Seasons in order for me are: autumn (the best!), spring, winter, and (ugh), summer.

I feel great. Fall is my best part of the year, moodwise. Then followed by winter, then summer, then spring. I love this time of the yr. I get hypomanic in fall and depressed in late spring.

I do get SAD during winter months and I always dread that onset. Having said that, I love snow (we never get enough) and cold weather so winter is my favorite season. I tend to hibernate in the summer since I’m heat intolerant. When I say hibernate I mean stay at the pool all day floating in the cool water.

I hate winter. I get depressed every year. But it's not like I used to be before I was properly medicated. I would get really deep dark depressions. I don't really get them anymore.

Summer is my favorite season, then spring, autumn and then dreaded winter....

I absolutely despise it. Granted I'm in a cold, snowy climate. I either go into deep depression or prolonged hypomania during winter. Nothing good happens. It's just a bad, bad time.

I am quite sensitive to weather changes. I'm not a fan when it gets super cold, but I also hate when it is super hot. We get hit with either extreme where I live. The summer was brutally hot and humid, and it hasn't completely cooled off yet, so I can't wait for some crisp, cool weather. However, snow and bitter cold weather makes me feel more depressed, more secluded, and I don't want to risk my life driving places. On the upside, I like Fall/Winter clothing: scarves, boots, more choices, and not being sweaty all the time, like the way it was this summer.

I tend to alternate between both depressive and Mixed Episodes in the winter, so I am definitely dreading that. Sometimes in the autumn, I fall flat on my face, crashing from either mania or hypomania to depression. I've been cycling lately.

It's cold and wet here today.
I am not thinking great things about winter!

As long as it’s sunny I’m ok.

Finally getting some Fall weather in a couple days ! I want my windows open and hoodie on.

I don't like the cold weather and darkness, but I love when it's snowing during a bright winter day. In my opinion there's a certain atmosphere during winter that I like.

I'm not a huge fan of Christmas. I tend to go crazy around Christmas (mixed depressed or manic) so I'm a little bit scared. Fortunately my medication situation is much better now, so I hope there won't be any episode this year.

Bleh.....
