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.
@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.
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!!!

Anyone remember mars bars? I remember as a kid going over to my grandpas he’d keep them in the freezer we’d get there and go right for them haha so good think had almonds in them probably similar to a snickers almond
@Maelstrom:
Okay, somehow I missed putting my two cents in during the chocolate discussion. The big near-half-pound slab of Hersheys Symphony bar with the BLUE label is hands down the best mainstream chocolate bar in America. You folks over across the pond kill it with Cadbury’s and I won’t deny it’s the best but those damn blue symphonies have me hooked.
@Realbenzeyes:
Next is the Easter bunny. Hurry up and run kids, we hid 60 plastic eggs and one has a dollar in it! All the kids who didn’t get the dollar 😑
@Realbenzeyes:
There’s only 2 good ones, the rest are trash! Happy valentines!💌
@Realbenzeyes:
I guess even the chocolate makers try and give life lessons lmfao
