I think being depressed 75% of the year goes past the "seasonal" prefix

Gotta kind of agree with OP. April/May are starting to get warm, and lately October-December are much more mild/fall weather. It’s only bitterly cold from January-march lately (although probably more so in the northern part of the state). if you’re really only happy june-august then maybe there is a more serious problem to try to address with professional help. I’d hate to think you’d move all the way across country (presumably away from family and friends) and find that your depression traveled with you. Just food for thought, hope you’re doing well!

It’s doesn’t need to be mental health related. Some of us just hate winter. ‘Milder temps’ meaning it’s in the 30s does not make it pleasant or agreeable to people who hate winter. It’s still grey and dark and depressing for months on end. It grinds your soul down and so every spring your worse off than the last.

I totally get what OP is saying. If I could I afford to move I wouldn’t just leave CT I’d leave this thrice damned country. As it is, I’ll probably just leave this plane of existence instead. It’s the only way out.

Yeah, but it’s not in the 30’s in April, may, oct/nov/dec. at least most of the time. If you’re seriously considering “leaving this plane of existence” please get help. Life is worth living, if you really feel that way some professional help may be what you need. Hope that your feelings improve and it all becomes more manageable!

We toss out that rhetoric because we’re taught to. I have a therapist. But in the last month I have watched runaway capitalism and corporate greed all but kill my little sister and ruin my family forever. So yea, maybe actually life as we exist in this godawful oligarch run country isnt worth living.
