In every online community I’ve ever seen, winter depression has been a noticeable thing, and this site is no exception. The combination of weather and being indoors, having to deal with shitty family over the holidays, being lonely over the holidays, etc. is bad enough, but I feel like this year is worse than usual due to the election and other events.

I don’t know if recent bad vibes might be in part due to this, but regardless, please treat both yourself and others with kindness, at least as much you’re able to. Also, don’t hesitate to open up to people you trust if there’s anything on your mind you want to discuss.

Does anyone else have any good tips for dealing with it? Please let us know in the comments, and thank you for reading this.

I've had extremely bad seasonal depression for most of my life and i finally grabbed some vitamin D3 tablets and honestly i feel like they're helping a lot

recently ordered my first batch of D3 and have been taking them daily. feeling not quite as gloomy as usual so maybe they work

I have been taking D3 on and off / its possible its just placebo but I DO feel Im sometimes just more upbeat on days when I take them.
