This is the view from my front door. Gloomy rainy depressing weather. & my dad loves his gardening lol.On the way home from work yesterday i was listening to triple M, & there is proof of a thing called winter depression.
Since there is more cloud & rain in winter, there is less serotonin in our bodies, and serotonin ( i don't think i am spelling it right), this is what makes us happy. Also, winter has been linked to rise in levels of alcohol drinking, violence, obesity, smokers, all the bad things in life apparently come out when its winter.
Ways to avoid feeling sad in winter is to: exercise more(don't you notice you always walk out of the gym feeling on top of the world?!), socialise more (look people in the eye when you say hello how are you today?), and make the most of your time indoors by doing the things you enjoy the most. Whether it's sleeping, watching a movie, making a hot chocolate (with marshmallows! yum!).
I can't wait till winter is over.. 89 days till Spring ^.^

Yeah! They also mentioned something about using 'light' boxes. It's a faint light box that you keep wherever you are, whatever you're doing reading watching tv whatever and it's like replacement sun.

Yeah i feel the same. I thought since Winter is extra cold, that summer might be extra hot, but it seems that it might not be the case :|
