I believe weather is effecting my mental health
Hi
Just wondering if the weather could be effecting my mental health,
originally from the Mediterranean, our family move to the Upper Midwest when I was young.
( yea I know, why right ? ) my problem is that when ever its overcast and humid, or during winter months ( about 6 of them here ) I get the blues, I dot care to finish anything, my eyes feel heavy, I feel like the back upper part of my eye sockets are sore, even seems like its hard to breath.
My questions are,
1 does this seem far fetched.
2 if not, what areas of the US would better suit someone that suffers from these symptoms.
3 how do you get your spouse to believe your suffering, and that an aspirin wont work.

Winters here suck, you need to go to a warm vacation place at least once a winter or you will go crazy. Florida or the California coast. Seems natural to want nice weather and be depressed otherwise.
about "S.A.D." I don't know why they call it a disorder. Maybe I have fall off the ladder disorder? I think you are just normally sensitive to your environment.
