Brothers it’s getting in the 50s at night here now. Be even colder next month. Old man winter is knocking though. I get sooo depressed after thanksgiving and basically hibernate December, January and February. No kids, seasonal job. I thought it’d be great but it’s really not. I just F’n hate winter. It’s mostly the darkness and the cold. Mental health goes to shit those months. I need to do those 3 months differently here this year. Any tips for not letting old man winter in?

Any chance there are cool outdoor activites you can do in winter? I grew up in PA and hated the cold, but took up snowboarding just for something to do to keep me busy, and grew to love it.

Sounds to me like you have 3 months to live in the gym...im failing to see the problem here bro...dedicate every second you can this winter and come out morphed into something unrecognizable...fuck man id give anything ti have that much time to dedicate before summer hits. But...i understand the loneliness sucks, dont let it beat you, use that shit.
 
Seasonal depression can happen as it's cloudy and shit weather . But the best thing to beat it is go out find gym friends . Go live in the gym your feeling down go train or walk or hit cardio . Go tanning keep a good tan on you it also for me helps relaxation plus you will look great compared to everyone else haha .
Stuff is easy to beat just keep your mind in positive influences and active as you can get
 
Freaking 43 on the way to the gym here in PA at 4:30 this morning. We really need to move someplace not bipolar
 
Man, I hear you...been like 60 in the morning and breezy here in Tampa in the morning and sunny 75 during the day...absolutely loving it!
Pretty much the same here 50's in the mornings and mid to upper 70's during the day. Warm but not hot. Glad the dog days are over.

I too have a very difficult time during those months. I suffer from seasonal depression.
Believe it or not I'm not a strong advocate for people using antidepressants, in fact they are over prescribed. But I personally made the adult conscious decision many years back to go on some Effexor ER 150mg daily.
This works for me, yet I'm against how doctors give these to people.
My instance is justified.

Brother, I purchased a indoor fountain, this thing's pretty dope man.
That gives a nice Ambien relaxation to the house during those months.

Something else to keep in mind, try not to resort to the same behaviors that you did in the past, or last year during the upcoming season. Because you already know what the result is.

This sounds corny but could be fun, maybe grab yourself a 3D printer online, and print all kinds of shit. Just keep yourself occupied.

I'm like huge into cosplay, and I got some legit movie like suits and shit.
Nerd shit. Kills the time.😊

But I'll save the best for last,
There is an app that was suggested to me last winter that broke down the Bible every day with a verse, it was just what I needed.
Just a suggestion! 💥👊🙌🙏

Ps, stay out of your head.
Would you walk down a dark alley at night by yourself? Then don't wander and walk through your head and your thoughts by yourself you're going to end up mugging yourself man.
We can be our own worst enemies.

Keep this thread active, if you come others or even myself need a pick me up.

Stay well, stay blessed and sending good vibes your way.

Much love and respect.

Wanted to add one more thing, for my birthday my wife purchased me a telescope.

I don't know anything about them, I just always wanted one.

There's an app I downloaded that helps you find the charts in real life time, so this winter I'm going to be pretty excited to try it out.

Maybe take advantage of the worst season, and check out the Stars man.

For $300 you can get a cool starter one.

What’s the name of the bible app? Ty
 
I used to think seasonal depression was a joke until I got older and suffered from it. This is what got me going to the gym at 5am, up at 415. Before, I’d get off work, it’s already dark and I’m ready for bed, forget lifting. Like someone said, stay busy. Volunteer to work with seniors to stay occupied. Could be very rewarding

Staying busy is the answer 99% of the time. I used to be the “when people need me I feel better” kind type as a teenager. Then one day I realized it wasn’t being “needed” that helped me feel better it was the fact that I was BUSY.

Can’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself and being depressed when you’re doing shit.

Get involved in your community. Become a mentor for the lost kids who are being dragged through a world that has vilified them and wants to use them for personal gain. Stop thinking about yourself in an internal, independent individual and start thinking about yourself as an important piece of an overall system.

Im quite certain you can find purpose during the dark months ahead if you stop compartmentalizing your life and start allowing yourself to feel connected to your people and the future generations of young men who will need to be strong to endure the coming suffering.
 
The winter makes us stronger. Forces us to think long term and separates the wheat from the chaff. Turn your depression into a catalyst for good.

Read. Get involved with your local community. Dispense the wisdom you’ve gained from lived experience to the next generation.
