I always find talk about seasonal depression a bit weird, not because I doubt what people go through but because my own experience is so different.
The worst time of year for me, when I’m living someplace hot, is around now—it’s the middle of November and it’s still unpleasantly hot during the day (our highs are still sticking around 30°C and muggy). I would rather have nine months of snow than this.

Says the person who's never lived with 9 months of darkness and snow!

I’ve never lived in the Arctic, true. But I have lived in the mountains where the only snow-free months were June through August... so I do know what I’m talking about there.

It’s quite weird to me how randos on the Internet decide they know enough about strangers to make pronouncements about our perspective and experience.

It surprises me how people post on social media then get huffy when someone comments like social media was designed for!
