Depression and allergies are supposed to stop?
You need more tomatoes.
I was going to say, someone has never heard of ragweed or mold
I'm allergic to literally everything that grows in my region. I'm lucky that 6 months of immunotherapy reduced that a lot.
But I also have persistent depressive disorder, and have had it for like 20 years. I honestly don't remember what it's like to not be depressed. I guess the closest is robo ripping while blackout drunk, but I've been forced sober by my SO
The five seasons are: spooky candy, christmas candy, easter candy, fresh strawberries, and ice cream.
Just imagine a trip to a wonderful land of candy, and jam, and ice cream
I like the way you think!
Winter isn't depression it's chill
just get a light therapy lamp and blast the depression straight out of your skull with the unmatched power of the sun
True I'll just choose to be happy
Some real "bootstraps" vibes...
Maybe they're both speaking about their own experience. Not everyone has depression you know
Im built for winter. Summer can fuck off (im in Arizona;don't hurt me)
Summer in Arizona feels like what I imagine living in space feels like - sure you can 'suit up' and temporarily endure the outside if needed, but radiation will immediately start saping your strength. Life is about going from one environment with life support ("AC") to another environment with life support.
ACCURATE
My body hair and excess blubber is perfectly adapted to low temperatures. I sweat nonstop when it hits + 70 degrees fahrenheit until it's winter again.
Same, where most people have seasonal depression during the winter, I have it during the summer, every second feels like hell and I just can't wait until it gets to fall, which is luckily very close by
I've never really got the whole winter gives depression thing. Yea theres less sunlight, but its not like i enjoyed every single minute of sunlight in summer. You can snowshoe or ski through the woods instead of hike. You can fish in a hut instead of off a boat. You can go weeeee down a big hill then realize your cardio sucks walking back up. Learn to dress adequately and for the most part the cold isn't that big a deal. Sometime i do end up working through all the daylight hours but my job is often outside so i still catch some sun while on the clock.
Yea theres less sunlight
there are many people living in places where there literally isn't sunlight in the winter, the sky just get vaguely bright enough to qualify as daytime for like 6 hours
Yeah, you go to work or school and it’s dark out. You go home and it's dark out. Home office and work at unconventional hours is the only real way to see any natural light.
it makes daylight savings time even stupider, because it would make sense if we weren't cowards and actually moved the clock around by like 4 hours so at least one working shift got to reliably see the sun
Not all of us live in a place that actually gets snow when it gets cold. So you stay indoors cause you have fuck else to do, and the lack of sunshine just makes the seasonal depression that much spicier. Yeah you can bundle up, but like, if there's nothing to do then why bother going out?
If theres no snow you can still go on regular walks or hikes. If the water isn't frozen you can paddle and fish it. You can ride a bike down a big hill instead of sledding it. Theres still plenty to do snow or no snow.
Yea but it’s cold and dark, do you really want to?
Yeah, I think we can tell you've never been depressed...
I have been, then i do my best to stop the behaviors that are putting me there and start doing the stuff that alleviates it. I haven't been clinically depressed or had it majorly derail my life but I've had some rough stretches.
Depression is a chemical dysbalance in your brain. If you were able to just go start doing stuff to alleviate it, it probably wasn’t depression.
Sounds like you've never had depression, good for you
Tomato season in California is called strawberry season. I guess we can call it red fruit season?
And in Southern California allergy season is year round. Fuck you, ragweed.
Shhh, eating my 'Mato and Mayer sandwich. Mmmm.
I was happy to see Halloween candy and a Spirit Halloween in August
