Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder

yes omg i have sad and i hate it

basil me too i live in socal so very sunny

Summer variant is latitude independent. Regardless of whether you live at the equator or the north pole. The one thing that will be true is that it'll occur in the summer, so may-August in the north and November-February in the south. Winter variant on the other hand is latitudinally correlated, with 2.4% incidence rate in Florida, and 8.9% incidence rate in Alaska. Winter variant itself has two subvariants: unipolar, which is the lionshare, and bipolar (not to be confused with bipolar disorder). I have winter, bipolar; which means that I have to take a dopamine antagonist in the summer

Yes absolutely!! I live in Florida though, so that might have something to do with it haha.

i collect rarities lol

AlikeMe, glad to know I’m a rare case study! I always knew I was special

Canis, Unicorn, you two have what's called summer variant SAD, which affects about 0.5% of the population at all latitudes, equator included

This is so me!! Winter is so much more my thing and summer is hell on earth for me. Like I end up wasting spring mentally preparing for summer just for summer to slap me in the face. I think I’m part vampire haha

ahh dam i get rly happy in winter other than trauma and holidays i do not like sunlight and heat

winter is cool in terms of like outdoors and stuff but i get super sad lol
