Anybody else have this?

I am so happy spring is here! This past winter was pretty mild where I live but I get pretty bummed out in the winter regardless. Bummed in a "FTW, I wish everyone would die" kind of way. I don't like antidepressants but they gave me a special lamp that didn't do anything; even if I sat by it for hours every day.  They said it would simulate natural sunlight but the one they gave me must have been defective.:( 

I always feel sick when its cold. I know I could cure it by living somewhere else during the winter. Ive been thinking Phoenix is my best bet, I use to think maybe Dallas but I dont know if its the pollution or what but the sun seems alot dimmer in TX than AZ.

Or I am actually insane :)

 
@girlgerms   Please dont think I am following you around and forum stalking you!!!  I go through a bit of a depressive each winter and this year was the worst. I live in a warm weather clime and our winter was not bad at all and I was miserable all winter.  I didnt want to do anything or go anywhere.  I hated everyone and everything and I did not want to go to work.  All I wanted to do was sleep and sit on my ass and do nothing.  I struggled through it and as soon as it got a little warm my mood shifted instantly. It was like a light switch went off and my mood exploded into sunshine, rainbows and lollipops!   I think next year I might start going to the tanning bed or trying one of those sunlight lamps.  Even my pills didnt perk me up and that is bad.

I promise I am not stalking you :)   Its just funny that you posted this because I was talking to a friend of mine about 2 weeks ago about this and she mentioned getting a sun light lamp.   I dont want to take anti depressants but if it gets bad again next year, I might.  I was so bummed out.  

 
@aintnouse

Lol, its cool.  I get a little manic at this time of year. Were I'm at the weather pulls a few fast ones before settling on letting spring have its way, the sun will come out one day and it can be over 80 degrees. But its just a ruse.....2 days later there will be snow on the ground and a windchill that freezes bones to where I cannot get warm from any heat source.

Supposedly these lamps can be a real lifesaver for people with this problem. That's why I think my lamp was defective, the one they gave me wasn't cheap but I can't find hardly any reviews for it online. Next year I'm going to give it a try with a different one. 

I get so annoyed when someone says "Just throw on a couple layers" or "its not even that cold" ugh. I get my payback in summer I guess when everyone is melting and sitting real still in front of the AC units. I just stand right in the sun drenched in sweat and cant be any happier :) My ideal outside temp is 95-100 with plenty of sunshine. Just drinks lots of water, sure beats throwing on a bunch of layers:)

 
@girlgerms     I always get the strange looks too when I tell people I dig the heat.   I can never put on enough clothes to stay warm and it seems like if I get cold in Oct/Nov, I stay that way until springtime.  Fortunately where I live we get few cold days and I rarely have to bundle up.  We have had a great spring so far and I think our summer is going to be blazing hot.  I like sweating cuz it makes me think I am getting all the poison out of my body.   I sure do hate freezing though!!!

  1. RonaldDonald @ RonaldDonald: @AnnaSofia my bad. I’m just really down bad right now. And yes we are all over his thread. I’ll keep the SB positive I’m sorry.
  2. A @ AnnaSofia: Thanks @Deepnorth !!
  3. Deepnorth @ Deepnorth: @AnnaSofia absolutely. Sometimes I cringe when I look at the shop box because I never knew what I’m going to see but I think you worded it very well.
  4. A @ AnnaSofia: I got cut off. .. be careful that it’s not some non-verified vend trying to swoop in and scam if u do post “who offers it.” Amd finally, I know I’m guilty but try to keep this stuff to DM’s or the forum threads instead of SB. Good luck Ronald!
  5. A @ AnnaSofia: whoever you guys are talking about I hope you have posted your experience in his thread so people know. I agree with Layne that a brand new vend is more likely to want to save the day. But also be careful
  6. RonaldDonald @ RonaldDonald: @st1ckyf1ng4z I wish I could man. I’m rural and new to town idk anyone.
  7. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Hit the b10cķ if you’re in a p!nch, depending on where you are located that book is not hard to find. @RonaldDonald
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @RonaldDonald post your question about anyone who can express 4 or overnight in the “who offers it” thread maybe get a hit from one of these new vendors with that on the menu there’s a good # of them now
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: I know he talked such a good game with me when I emailed and in his thread @RonaldDonald and your right begging for ppl to leave good review but then ghosts everyone not a good look at all
  10. RonaldDonald @ RonaldDonald: @Layne_Cobain I have not :( and still nothing on ID. I’m freaking out and WDs are coming very soon. Idk why this dude cant just say something. I really trusted him, I could have/should have went with my regular. But no, homie was begging for good reviews and now he does some ghosting to new custees (3-4 of us) not good. ANYONE KNOW AN EXPRESS OR OVERNIGHT/2nd DAY with some #4

  13. RonaldDonald @ RonaldDonald: Really hoping this day gets better. Alllll I need is someone who respects peoples time, money and concerns. Why is that so hard for some people.
