winter blues

Last winter I realized that I would get even more upset and depressed on gloomy, cloudy and cold winter days. I started having mood swings, a lack of energy or any reason to socialize with others and just felt very blah all the time! The days like this there was nothing that I wanted more than to lay in bed all day and binge watch Netflix, but this just made me feel worse. I didn’t feel like I had depression since it was only for a short seasonal time, but it still made it difficult for me to function the same. Then I started researching SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder and it made more sense! What helped me most was working out, being around my friends and spending time outside of my house. Has anyone else felt like this? If so what have you done to prevent feeling this way and what has worked?
