Anyone feeling a little down with the change of seasons?

Thanks for sharing this! I grew up in Minnesota and this is the mindset there, too. It makes a huge difference.

Not the change of season. But impending DST, yes. Makes me miserable.

Yes. I loathe winter, so fall is just a harbinger. Time to up the SSRI.

Yes, this. Plus I’m in my luteal phase, DH is traveling so I’m home by myself, and my FOO has been going through a stressful situation.

OP, you could be developing allergies.

Just about everyone in this area complains about everything including all four seasons.

Agree DST is the problem. Otherwise, loving the cooler weather!

Yes. Love spring- watching the days getting longer and the build up to summer. Fall reminds me winter is coming and the two months I hate the most January and February.

When it gets dark earlier, I panic over the day ending and not getting enough tasks done. Always feel like I should be getting ready to go to bed.

By mid January at least the days will start getting noticeably a little longer, so I will look forward to that, even though January and February are the coldest months in DC.
