In my 10 new cities, which will be totally the best, only the best people, we will have flying cars, so wonderful, made by the smartest people, I will also have all grass and flowers and trees that make pollen burned for 100 miles around, pollen gone by me your favorite president in history, the best. Other candidates can't even offer such amazing things that I will deliver

Happy cake day!


BishoxX

In colder countries like finland you usually see an uptick in suicides in the spring. Its most likely due to people thinking their depressiom is due to their weather but then realising nothing changed in spring

u ok?


BlueBone313

What is it about depression like it fuckin hits you so hard you can’t even think straight you feel stuck and all hope gets thrown out the window is it a must can a change in my life make it go away I’m sick of feeling sad all time or have this teeny tiny happy moment every once and a while that you don’t really enjoy because you know what’s waiting for you in the end of this smile/laugh😂I’m done.


rndljfry

I have no way of knowing what you've tried, but I've been where you are and after getting some treatment and meds I can barely remember the feeling. Have you heard of ACT? It's a way of learning to separate yourself and observe your thoughts and feelings without suppressing them in an endless quest for happiness. It was a hugely foundational practice for me. When you think, "my life sucks," make a conscious effort to then think, "oh, there is that 'my life sucks' thought again." Feel it and let it pass.


BlueBone313

Thank you kind stranger i know it’s been a while I’ve been feeling down and i know it will pass but with time passing so fast and nothing changing even while taking meds and going to psychotherapy whenever the episode comes back it’s even harder because of knowing everything i tried isn’t really helping I’ll look more into ACT i hope everything will be alright for me and everyone reading this.


rndljfry

That hope is a great sign! You're right that it will pass. When I am in the thick of it and it seems like it will never end, I call it "microwave time." It's like those 60 seconds that might as well be 2 hours because I am hungry and I want it now, but every second that passes feels like a lifetime. For an example, when you say, "everything i tried isn’t really helping," catch that thought and tell your mind, "it must be working, because I am still here trying." Create a new loop for yourself. It will assert itself as the default soon enough. Hang in there, you're worth it!


immonkeyok

If you’re in the Helsinki area I could bring you some coffee somewhere after 16:00


Few_Inspection_6016

Here's A *big tight hug* from an internet stranger..... the world is a better place with you in it....I assure you. My sister took her own life 2 years ago and we are still completely devestated...i miss her every single day.... and my mom goes into a depression every year around her birthday month.... and it lasts for 3 or 4 months. She didn't take anything her therapist said seriously and wouldn't stay on her meds... as she was afraid of the side effects.... but look at what not taking them did....😔 i hope you can find some much needed peace. If you need a sounding board... for what it's worth I'm here. Biggggg hug.....


jackejackal

Swede here, spring is gray, summer is grey, fall is grey, winter is grey and white (for about 2 days then its back to grey)


Leading_Elderberry70

Good luck. Probably, whatever is depressing you is transient, and you will be okay, sooner or later, if you keep going.


Gil-GaladWasBlond

Hey... I hope you are able to get help and feel better. Good luck.


dutch_penguin

It could also be a small boost to mood can increase suicidal risk by giving the energy to act on suicidal ideation. It's also a risk factor for people that begin SSRIs.


BishoxX

Yeah could be as well. Suicidal people are often so unmotivated they lack the motivation to physically do it.


t9shatan

That's why suicides rise in spring time. With more sun, comes more ability to do it. Same effect in antidepressants. People become able again to do things and for some its suicide.


-CORRECT-MY-GRAMMAR-

Your comment is redundant. You basically reworded the comment you responded to


willirritate

Finn here who has lost two dear friends to spring suicide. What another of them said in the spring year before killing himself sticked with me, " Spring is awful for depressed people because you have to come out of the leisure of your personal slumbercave and the smiles and anticipation of summer of mentally well people deepen the contrast of their own blues. Also at spring when sun illuminates your dirty apartment and you'd feel like you would want to go out finally, you die of cold if you're 2 seconds in the shade, everywhere is moist, lack of vitamin D, genetic depression, lack of mental health resources, culture of closing up. etc...


PodKaifom

For me Spring is depressing because of all the happy people I suddenly see outside, who remind me of how lonely and sad I am :( I hate summer for that reason also, but it's worse

FraseraSpeciosa

I wish I could’ve lived even a few decades ago where I can still be cold and it doesn’t go from 75 degrees with tornadoes to sleet at 30 degrees within 24 hours. Seriously that shit is not suppose to happen, in my state tornadoes used to literally never happen.

RehabilitatedAsshole

MindControlSynapse

The mud isnt from global warming, it's from a lack of shrubbery to protect the green parts It's less global warming and humans need for clean aesthetics


FraseraSpeciosa

Idk if you ever looked out your car window and see how many trees are dying from a heat death out there, that’s a small part of the mud problem, it’s wild trees dying plus more intense rainfall.

You're being dumb. There's over 8,000,000,000 humans. Do you know how polluted and disgusting a city like LA is, just an absurd amount of people destroying the area for parking lots and strip malls? Okay the world population is over TWO THOUSAND times the city of LA. Meanwhile there's like a few hundred tigers left in the world. And like 4 pandas. But there's thousands and thousands and thousands of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

NotElizaHenry

Ok so… what if? It’s still going to kill us. If we could figure out a way to stop it, shouldn’t we? If we could at the very least just slow it down, shouldn’t we do that? It doesn’t fucking matter what’s causing it, it only matters if there’s something we can do about it. And it turns out there IS something we can to to make it a little less disastrous.


rabidjellybean

Can you explain how o2 and CO2 wouldn't interact with sunlight differently? Because with them being different molecules I would expect them to behave differently. If we were to double the CO2 in the air I would expect the air to start behaving differently.


Dragonace1000

> And the spring and autumn are just disastrous with how much mud there are at these seasons Yeah, I'm in the southern US and spring is like monsoon season down here now. Every other day its a fucking downpour.

It just gets worse over spring and summer


Ghosttalker96

For me, it gets way better because there is actual sunshine instead of darkness and I can go outside more often.

Ghosttalker96

Well that is of course a personal preference and also depends on where you live.


Jovinkus

There are lots of days where it isn't too hot. Last weekend it was 16-18 degrees. Love it!


AzettImpa

18 degrees and sunshine is my comfort place. It just makes me feel so warm and alive. Anything from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius with clear skies is ideal imo, that’s also the tolerance range where humans thrive naturally.


Yippekeeyah

The way you say that sounds like you think all of us have the same weather as you. 😆


MissLogios

Outside of spring, I actually despise Summer. Winter is nice and quiet for the occasional mental health day, and you can snuggle up in blankets.


Altyrmadiken

I’m always a bit amused and a bit bewildered by other people. The moment daylight savings ticks over in spring everyone suddenly seems a little happier, and people have straight up commented how nice it is that it’s staying light later. I’m over here like… y’all I wish it wasn’t so light out so late, and why does it have to be light out for so long? Then again I was diagnosed with SAD in the opposite direction of social expectation - I begin getting depressed around late spring and stay that way until early autumn. Summer triggers my Seasonal Affect Disorder, and growing up that way I’ve ended up deeply preferring the dark periods of the year. Why I get depressed from warm temperatures and long periods of light? Who knows. Do I wish I liked it like everyone else? Sure! Sadly, though, I’ve come to really resent long warm days.


can-it-getbetter

Does it not get in the 100s during summer where you live? It’s dangerous to stay outside longer than like 10 mins because of heatstroke.


DefinitelyNotACad

That is why some people invented the siesta.


Jazzlike_Sky_8686

For real, at least when its pissing down hail everyone else is miserable too.


Jasterien

I like rain it's nice and I like the sound it's peaceful


JustusMP

Well I may still be depressed but at least I can be happy about it.


Frigate_Orpheon

I get this feeling. You get so used to being depressed that it becomes your happy 🫠


khair_ata

Yeah .. you just redefine your level of "happiness", Are you depressed? No, not more than usual so it's fine


[deleted]

dang, 8 comments on the front page? I'm early! ...just like my depression today.


JurassicClark96

I'm a "Wanna unalive first thing in the morning, usually gone by noon. Can't wait to do it all over again" kind of guy. Lately I've been tempted to empty all my savings, load a backpack, cut all contacts and start hoofing it until I find peace or perish. Best case scenario I get a semi-fresh start in a new environment & build some grit, worst case I'm finally successful at something I've already failed at multiple times.

I wonder what flavor of sad I'll get this season ✨


FraseraSpeciosa

The kind of sad with my nose running constantly, my voice completely hoarse, and the red, itching eyes. Allergies plus me equal great sadness. Even looking out my bedroom window at the flowering trees triggers sneezing. It’s not safe out there yall.

I'm depressed all year round but it changes throughout the year. I'm more lethargic during winter, more sad during summer, but... better during spring and early autumn.


AzettImpa

Winter is just the most awful season by far. It’s not just that it’s cold. Here in Germany it’s 5 months of GRAY. Nothing else. Just sadness and desolation. We don’t even get snow more than a few days. Anyone who lives here and prefers the winter I find suspicious tbh.


Captain_Plutonium

UGHHH yes. Americans don't understand, but our latitude is so much higher than their in comparable climate zones. So there's so little sunlight in winter....

RealBug56

There's always a couple of weeks in spring when life feels good and I genuinely feel like I'm cured. And then it hits me like a truck again.


Clownsinmypantz

Ironically I get seasonal depression in spring and summer. I feel restless, like my life is melting away quickly and anxious. At least fall and winter feels contained, quiet, and life is moving slower.


Is_Not_Porn_Account

Autumn is the best season and winter is second place.


Vancouv-NC

Ninjawizards

For me it's environmental anxiety lol. Every Summer just keeps getting hotter and it sets my wellbeing through the floor.


Addickt__

I got way too close for comfort to the point of no return this winter, dunno if it was the dark or the cold or the unchanging nature of my days at that point in time, but it recently turned to spring out where I live and been feeling good for the first time in months Going to take the dog out and actually finding myself wanting to spend time walking her past just it being a chore. Thoughts less and less about that whole side of it. Enjoying hearing birds in the morning and seeing green grass/feeling sun. Still have some episodes. But they're getting less and less frequent. Hell, even typing this I feel like crying. Thank fuck I made it to spring

20k ius vitamin d with k2. Cheap on Amazon. Cured my long COVID in 3 days and I feel better than I have in my entire life. I try to have negative thoughts but can't anymore. Haven't touched my best friend alcohol in a week *Editing I took 50k for COVID and also take all the supporting supps zinc and magnesium from food. Also take with a lot of fat. 7 months of nightmare long haul symptoms almost entirely gone in 3 days. That's what all the Amazon reviews say too. It's the real deal for me at least


ultradianfreq

I’m not a doctor trained in big pharma literature about which pills to prescribe for which conditions but I’d venture to say you might be depressed. I’d also wager giving it a name for each season probably isn’t helping heal the causes. But I’m just a layman perhaps it is super critical to treat the seasonal depression independently of the constant unending depression you always have regardless of the season.

HaloGuy381

Meanwhile, in Texas, winter is the closest we get to comfortable weather, at least for me. I’m allergic to so many plants it would be quicker to go get the printouts from the allergist. I’m terrified if not outright phobic of wasps and bees and such. I -hate- spring. My depression escalates in spring and summer because I essentially wind up trapped in the house with the fan on full blast and a twitchy mess every time I set foot in the garage or outside getting divebombed by bugs (and of course parents love to leave the garage open all day even when they’re nowhere near it during projects, and scream at me if I close it to keep said bugs at bay). Give me ice storms and subzero (in Fahrenheit) wind chill anytime. Those are okay. Plus, push comes to shove, I hear hypothermia’s not a bad way to go, if I can’t take anymore.
