[quote=Anonymous]Is this just winter, or am I actually unhappy?
I work, and while I enjoy my job, it’s still work — it doesn’t define me or “fill my cup,” so to speak.

I go to the gym 4–5 days a week. Weightlifting is genuinely a hobby for me.

I love reading and spend a lot of time doing that as well.

I’ve even tried to implement “Hygge” into my life, buying comfy sweatpants, slippers, new tea each week, cozy blankets, fun candles.

But since around November, it hasn’t been enough. I feel… restless.

I live for warmer months—bike rides, long walks, gardening. I feel like I come back to life in April and become a different person. I know I’m probably glum because it’s the dead of winter and everything feels gray and shut down, but it’s never felt quite this bad in past years.

Lately I feel like I’m itching to come out of my skin, like a volcano ready to erupt. I feel purposeless even though my days are full and include things I genuinely enjoy.

Is this just winter doing its thing? Or is this a sign I need to do some deeper soul-searching? And how do you tell the difference?[/quote]
