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.

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!!!

  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Poppycock i can't recall if this popped up when I did my order however it's letting me bypass that section of checkout by just toggling "None" on the 3 marked checkboxes. Worst case scenario they just refund you after checkout. I would just try that if you really need it for medical purposes. My gut is telling me this is what I had to do but like I said, i can't recall 100%
  11. T @ timyboy: Fax?? geeesh are they still living in the 80s there
  12. P @ Poppycock: @xenxra thanks but when I get to the checkout section there’s a “medical history” section and there’s a line that says “fax or email your prescription to us”. Are they just putting that there to protect themselves? Or have their changed to now require prescription?
