You think I don't know what that shit is?

I get the feels in autumn. I kind of like it though, I enjoy some stuff more like reading.

I'm dealing with this crap since ever. Winter 2015 i finally caved in and got help. Took antidepressants for a year and went to therapy. I also got vitamin d prescribed and a therapy lamp. I feel like that lamp has really helped me. Especially with getting my energy up in the mornings. This year i'm going for it without any help and i hope i'll get it right. I try to catch as much sun an poasible and also keep my shit on track to not get pulled into that downwards-spiral again. If i sense it coming back i'll call my therapist that day. You should do that too...

Like >>17542394 said, look up light therapy and get a lamp with the right bulb for it (grow lights should work in a pinch).
It's said to be one of the most effective treatments, and it beats the hell out of most since it's so damn cheap and easy, no side-effects either.

And yes, take a multivitamin or vitamin D specifically, it helps if you don't spend time outside (who does nowadays).

It's the opposite for me.

Every summer I get extremely depressed. The better the weather gets, the more depressed I get.
The worse the weather gets, the better and more motivated I feel.

I connect this to my hate of normal people. Normal people go out and socialise and live more during spring and summer, which makes me sad and bitter and spitefull.

SAD is a real thing. Try an anti-SAD sun lamp. Someone I know swears that 30 minutes a day gets her through the winter.

I love autumn. My depressions acts up in summer (cali). No rain, dry, hot, absolutely no humidity (clouds). It fucking blows.

This. I got SAD only in summer too, you're the first one I see that has it too. Thought I was alone.

This is EXACTLY how I feel and am. If you're not my soulmate then I don't know. Where you from?

Unfortunately it rarely snows where I live.
But summers are hot and full of half-naked tourist girls and I really want to stay at home.

Land of many debts.
Summers here are normie central, it's the worst thing ever.

At least I can retreat to our relatively secluded beach home and play vidya all day from there.

We're a rare breed apparently. I wonder what causes it. Personally, I think it has to do with the fact rhst I trap myself indoors while it's summer because it's regularly over 95F. Probably start lacking in UV or something, but in winter I love going out just for the sake of it.

Who knows.

I think deep inside we know we are failing at life, and summer reminds us of that too well. So we become sad.
Winter is like decay, it feels like nothing matters and reminds us that everything is temporary so you shouldn't be sad.

Perhaps, though for me it has more to do with college summers usually being a letdown. There's no internships around my area and the ones that exist ask for experience.

My most enjoyable summer I did summer school, wish I did it more.

Now I'm graduated, unemployed, and it's summer so I feel like shit.

Maybe you're right.

I'm the complete opposite

I haven't browsed 4chan in like years actually, this is my first time hopping on to it again. I don't know how often you frequent 4chan but I can tell you honestly that quitting this place is good for your mental health and wellbeing. Good luck to figuring out our life my man, we will make it.

God I love Siri. If my gf just gained some weight she'd have the same body.

This place isn't the problem. I don't go on any echo chamber boards (minus /pol/ but that's for lols) and I spend less time here when I have something to do, but I don't right now so here I am.

This.

Reading in autumn is great.

I love everything about autumn and late September is usually when my mood begins to change for the better.

Come winter, I'm giddy as a toddler at a McDonald's play place.
