Is anyone else feeling winter blues? I recently retired and feel very down lately.

Yes i dread every year at winter time. I just bought a sun lamp from amazon to try to help with my SAD. Too, during the winter its hard to find things to do to keep busy. Ive been trying to read peoples post on here and do somethings to interact with people. I empathize with you in feeling the blues right now. Im sending my thoughts and prayers.

I feel blue too. I am not fond of winter. I love to walk and haven’t done much of that because it’s cold out and sometimes icy/slippery.

I hope you get feeling better. You’re not alone.

We can use some of that winter where I'm at.. it's almost always 80s and 90s here 365 days of the year 🤣🤣

Do you wanna build a snow man

I used to get "cabin fever" all the time right around January. What has helped me is a full spectrum lamp and trying to stay busy. I think once the holidays are over with there's a lull in activity where we tend to stay home more often. I live in Syracuse, NY which wins the Golden Snowball award pretty much every year My vitamin D level gets low in the winter as well and my doctor has me taking 2000IU of it every day.

Maybe volunteering would be helpful.
