Why is winter so depressing?

Question

It always seems like i get depressed a lot during the winter time, I go to school I have a job so that takes up time but i just feel bummed out.

It also does not help that me and my first love of two years broke up and cut all communication between each other, he has moved on and I feel all alone

why does it seem winter is so depressing?

Any ideas to help for the winter?

Answer 1

Welllllllll...  a lot of people could have the flu, it could be dark since snow clouds are gray, and yeah.

Answer 2

Well, it probably has something to do with the globally dismal weather and the fact that school is in full swing. The best you can do is open yourself to new romances after a bad breakup and try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Do what you love to take your mind off of stress with work, relationships, or school, but be sure you manage your time well to keep yourself out of stressful workloads.  

Answer 3

I think the diminishing sunlight plays a part. I remember reading a long time ago that people living near the poles (where dark and light can last for days or months) need to spend time under special lights to simulate sunlight.

Answer 4

i love winter more than any other season because I love the coldness maybe its just you dont like being cold because im depressed in summer but not in winter

Answer 5

Well you should see a psychologist, you have a disorder called seasonal affective disorder.  

Answer 6

THE REASON THIS HAPPENS IS BCUZ THE SUN IS SO FAR AWAY FROM DA EARTH..THEREFORE RELEASING LESS "HAPPY HORMONES" THRU UR BODY...

I GUESS U CAN JUST FIND COMFORT NEXT TO A WARM FIRE OR DO ENUFF THINGS  DAT  PLEASE U..

Answer 7
