Due to the nature of my area it’s cold for a good while, so it kind of comes in waves. Once it starts hitting the -12 and lower type weather near the middle of winter is when it picks up ig. Personally I have found that busying myself with crafts and or just sitting outside and marinating in the cold helps. Idk why but at least once a year il just lay out in the snow, looking up at the sky for like an hour and a half of something lol.

Whenever the weather gets unbearably cold, the only thing I want to do is just stay home and not do anything. I like cooler weather but there's limits to things and for me it is either super cold or hot weather that exacerbate that seasonal depression.

i pretend im a protagonist in a 2000s y2k film and its my character development era

Take vitamin d daily and have chocolate home at all times. Genuinely helps (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)
