I hate winter...

Don't get me wrong, I think the snow looks cool and all but man am I getting depressed. I'm usually a pretty upbeat person but this current winter has been extremely hard for me. It isn't so much the cold because Michigan is cold every year but not being able to just go out in the backyard and drink a beer and shoot the shit with the neighbors really sucks. I'm an outside person, everyday in the Summer i'm either fishing, playing a sport or working in my yard dicking with something.
C'mon summer.

I used to get cold in the winter, so I moved somewhere warm and sunny. After a few years, I started to get cold in the winter again. The tourists are all walking around in shorts, dripping wet from the heat while I am in long sleeves and goosebumps from the cold. I guess everything is relative.

It isn't so much the cold but more of an issue of everybody being locked inside from aboot November until late April, Michigan is probably one of the best states in the Summer (75F-95F range). We have tons of lakes, rivers and ponds but all that goes to shit when winter gets here.
As a side note they say it's supposed to be 40+ degrees this Friday...Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.

I think the warmest it got in January was aboot 25 Degrees F but that was for a day or two, most of the month was about 10-15 degrees. What's sad is that i'm near the warm part of Mich.

That's right, you're not too far from me. But we all know that once you cross the border into Canoodia land it drops to -20 C.

there is some sort of seasonal depression disorder (i know the acronym is SAD, but i cant remember what it stands for) that could cause you to "hate" the winter too.
my friend and I (somewhat) both go through this each year. he would get very depressed around january through april, he'd become introverted and he'd get fat. i just became very introverted last winter (this winter its not as bad).
the disorder is caused by a lack of sunlight (shorter days/cloudiness in the winter)...i think.
id recommend checking it out, it might be your problem! i dont think there's a known cure though, besides moving somewhere sunny! (my friend moved to california)

i hate winter too. every winter, i get so depressed and on the verge of death. so i really dont have much of a choice, i can stay here and die or try to build a life. im about to pack up all my shit and move further south, maybe georgia or florida. i was just down there a while ago and i was happier there. seasonal depression is a bitch and hard to deal with.

I used to go to college in Port Huron (SCCC). What's funny is that there's not a seal to beat in my area but you silly Canoodians have them living with you.

It's called Seasonal Affective Disorder. I know what it is and know why I feel the way I do, it's just that this year has been the worst i believe of my life. I have a severe case of Cabin Fever.
I'm going on a cruise in May so that aughta cure me. I can taste the Tequila now.

thats the god honest truth. thats exactly how i feel. it starts in december... christmas rolls by and i get depressed. then the first of the year happens, and it gets worse. then my b-day in february, i just turned 25. i dont feel like i've accomplished enough in my life. this month is probably the worst, and i'm probably just packing up everything and going further south.

I'm with you guys. January-March is always hard as hell for me. I'm so restless that I'm climbing up the walls, but I'm so depressed that I don't want to move. I've been holding a 150+ blood pressure for a month and I'm only 18 and in good physical shape. Man, I really fucking hate winter. Everything is going downhill with my girlfriend lately too, but maybe that has something to do with the winter also. GF gets bummed out like I do in this crap. Plus she's got some unpleasant shit happening in her life. So everything feels fucked. Sorry for rambling, I'm done now.

Sorry to complain when I have it so nice here (Orange County, CA), but I don't really like the winter, either. My favorite times of the year are Spring and Fall.
I like Summer, but I guess I'm getting old and it's too hot. I love when Summer cools down into Fall, and Winter warms into Spring.
I still run around a lot during the Winter. I run a lot. Plus, my work takes me out doors a lot. But see, I shouldn't say anything negative about the Winter. Most times it's in the 60's.
