You d better believe it, Sunday It was either go out in sigle digit weather with a 20 mile per hour wind or end up going crazy litteraly. An hour out in the sunshine and I felt fine again.

My DH really can tell you how long it s been without sun, it seems to bother him lots more than it does me.   Here in MI we ve been having a lot of snow and wind and partly cloudy weather for the last few days, sun peeks thru for just a minute at a time, usually  just before sundown.   It s why we consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to spend the last few weeks in FLA.  (We also consider ourselves very stoopid to have come home when we did, but oh well, whaddyagonnado?)

It gets worse the further north of the equator. In late December it is dark when I go to work and dark when I come home.
 Do I have SAD?
 Yep, but I still love living here. Someday I m gonna get an artificial sunlight generator and send you all a picture of me enjoying my " faux sun" []
 
 We have more to look forward to in the spring than those that don t suffer from this. I for one know winter is coming and start losing interest in camping because of it. I think I will never regain that " I wanna go camping"  feeling again. Come spring I start to get so excited about camping I have a hard time holding my water!![]

Mike4947,
 
   I think everyone in upstate New York has SAD and don t know it. As I have mention before I am from Cicero/East Syracuse area, and eight months out of the year is dark. I think this has a lot to do with the weather off of the Great Lakes. Well, reason why I left up there was because of the weather. This year down here in Maryland the weather has not been that great either. So I am back in my SAD state again. I am surely glad I have something to look forward to this time of year.
 
 Looking forward to a great Camping Year![]

Chasd60,
 
     Is it dark or just cold there? When you are caught in the house it does not matter. Huh![&:]

I have a few friends who have this-it is really hard for them.  
 I get really antsy, but it s nothing compared to the kids!  They ll be sitting there coloring and all of a sudden get an urge to race circles around the house about twenty times!  This happens about twice a day.  [8D]  I, for one, can t wait for Spring so I can get them outside running!!!

I have a friend that has this, and she has to take medication at certain times during the year because of it.  In countries that have all light part of the year and all dark part of the year.  During the dark period they have alot more suicides, than during the light time of year.  They say it is because of this.
