There seems to be a lot of it about.

baratronI have a theory that just about everyone I know seems to be depressed at the moment, and I think it's because it's got to the point in the year where it's been winter for so long that it's like it's never going to end, and we all feel like crap due to lack of daylight. However, I realise that it is not winter for everyone in the world, and that some people are probably enjoying some lovely sunshine right now (the lucky sods!).
So here is a totally unscientific livejournal poll on the topic. I wish it was possible to write livejournal polls that link together the answers from multiple questions and correlate the answers automatically. Oh well. Question 2 is deliberately vague because I set about writing time intervals like "2-3 days ago" and "4-7 days ago" before realising that I couldn't remember the answer to it that precisely myself, so it was probably pointless expecting anyone else to.

Oh yes, and if you do happen to feel just great at the moment, then please comment below to say why, because the rest of us need cheering up.

Date: 2009-01-15 10:35 pm (UTC)To add re: the questions: I don't hit seasonal depression, but I am not particularly wired towards depressive disorders in the first place (my issues run differently, which is both a plus and a minus.)
Also, my office has an entire wall of 10' windows (starting at shoulder height when I'm at my desk and going up) so any day there's sun, I get quite a lot of it. Minneapolis in winter is cold (see above) but often remarkably sunny, which helps.
