So many good ideas ! Can’t say that winter gets me down particularly, and I’m not only used to spending a lot of time on my own, I actually don’t mind it. I never manage to fit everything in that I want to do so I don’t get bored, but I do understand that people who don’t have hobbies/pastime’s they enjoy, can feel bored or restless. Your suggestions cover many different things to lift the mood that cold, dark winter brings and I think if a winter suffering person were to try at least one of them they would feel a whole lot better.

Love the idea of that hat! Anything that helps you feel like you’re fighting back against SAD is a great idea. Hopefully spring is on its way soon. Although it’s snowing here in Edinburgh today!

I think one of the main reasons children tend to enjoy winter more is they spend much more time outdoors in it, taking in the little sunshine there is.
When commitments, working, housework etc take place in the already short days it’s hard to make that moment to get outside. The weather doesn’t help at times. I’ve found myself slipping into SAD in some years. I do try to inject a bit of humour into my situation, even though I don’t really hate it, I bought myself a pompom hat which says “I Hate Winter” on it nice and boldly. It’s fun and it amuses me because it feels like I am fighting back against my SAD by wearing it on miserable days. The smiles and compliments from other people it gets also are great for my mood.

It’s so true, right? I can’t believe it took me so many years to get it, lol.

So are we here in Scotland – there’s thick snow on the ground and no signs of it going anywhere soon!
