    Me too. Mine starts when it gets darker earlier. I have a "Happy LIght" that I use regularly. It imitates the sun. I find too, that here in MN, with the temps getting so cold in the winter and the early darkness, it is difficult to maintain my desire to exercise. I really have to work at MAKING myself do something.

    I don't know whether its coincidence or SADS but I've had 2 episodes of depression in winter. First one Nov 2011, second started 3 weeks ago.
    However, I think that there were particular events/ build up of circumstances that caused and then retriggered this but I'm not ruling out a seasonal link too.

    sounds like we all have something in common, lots of exercise and eating right can def help! :wink: :wink: :wink:

    Never! I love our Canadian winters! If I have the blues right now it's because we got that spring weather all of a sudden that brought rain and is melting the snow! Didnt get the chance to go snowshoeing yet!
    Good thing, It's getting cold again and I think it's gonna snow this week!

    I HATE HATE HATE winter. Mostly because I have a disability that makes getting around with even a small coating of snow and ice pretty much impossible.
