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. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: domestic p1ns are harder and harder to come by which sucks and when I find them, they're so expensive
  2. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: me too. sad to see and hear but honestly when R told me he was serving 6,000 people, I knew it was a matter of time
  3. C @ Charizard179: Still pisses me off, common folk need subscriptions for anxiety etc, while the “big dogs” at the top are obviously subscribed out of their minds on high energy shit
  4. C @ Charizard179: Domestic only for a while. Should be fine
  5. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: so anything I get coming to me from outside the country will be inspected regardless if it looks sus or not
  6. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: I've been flagged and sent a love letter a long time ago for an international shipment
  7. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: doubtful, unless international
  8. C @ Charizard179: Possibilities of getting red flagged etc
  9. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: right but you're fine
  10. C @ Charizard179: Small fish, 1 time subscriber…shit still sucks
  11. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: they want big fish
  12. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: Unless you're a big buyer they don't give a care
  13. L @ Lonertool: Everything is up in the air until we have definitive proof of C let not put that energy in the air! let all just do our part and chill out. Things will settle eventually RESPECT to everyone here of course the important thing is to make sure we all practice great OPSEC and support each other in this time.
  14. Wicked @ Wicked: Monero isn’t a bad idea imo. I’ve asked a few times to use it and been denied actually
  15. M @ Mammasboi123: There’s been some rule
  16. P @ ProtekPhilipe: Should vendors here start prioritizing monero for payment? And maybe show site links for sponsored member threads only. It's a tiny defense, but any way to stay lower key would help right now
  17. etizoman @ etizoman: God fucking dann. Just read the article. Definitely RIP to their normal lives ever again. Both C and R were Amazing people and have provided a lot of great times and some personal wisdom thru their products. And what @Wicked said, its true, man. Sucks you gotta kinda be paranoid when you reach a certain level of status....
  18. Wicked @ Wicked: I agree, it’s unfortunate and a loss for many of us, you’re right R was one of the best. Hopefully it serves as a reminder to others to always stay on top of things. I’m sure it’s easy to get comfortable and feel unstoppable when you reach a certain level as an author
  19. ms3031 @ ms3031: Its unfortunate for everyone but tbh, as with most things illegal, they eventually fall either by their own hand or LE, there are some rare success people but whose to say who is working with authorities and who is not. In fact thjs entire forum creates an easy access to the people they want just a much as we want them. Nothing can be done for those who fly too close to the sun.
