    I hate the winter makes me depressed! Because sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D I think! Bring back the sun!

    When I open my blinds and see it's a dark and gloomy day, forget it! I'm already having a bad day.
    And because the sun goes down so early, that's when I get bad too. Does that happen to anyone else? I get worse at night.

    I hate the winter because I'm always sick!!! I have sinus problems and it only makes it worse on me. I don't mind gloomy for some weird reason. But I don't like the fact I stay with a stuffy nose and foggy head. Damn groundhog saw his shadow .. boooooooo... go back in your hole.

    In the US, we sleep late and ask Obama for a handout

    Winter is miserable! Here in Canada even spending 5 minutes outside is painful its so cold, so you spend literally ALL day stuck in doors. Iloveyu I'm not sure whereabouts you are but if its cold and you have the heating cranked that doesnt help sinuses at all! It dries out the air and makes all sinus problems worse. Have you tried buying a humidifier? Not only do they relieve some of this but I find the noise they make quite soothing
    But yeah, Spring needs to get here ASAP and give all us anxious people a break!

    It can be due to all the dryness, and sinus issues (that actually can bother your digestion too) which in turn can make the an anxiety you've got even worse in my opinion. as much as I love winter I feel more moist and hydrated in summer, try baths, and hang out in well lit rooms to make you feel a bit better.
