Is it seasonal depression?

Take Vit D supplement, exercise, and eat healthy.

Sorta but not really - the cold front is a contributing factor, but the main thing is that, like,... ok, I have a very very stable mood, tons of serotonin or whatever, so when I'm happy I stay happy for a long time, like weeks.

But,... when I get down I get stuck for long time. Very stable sad.

One of my aunts died, we weren't close but it still hurts, and the cold front hit so I have been cold and hungry, and that dog topic made me miss my baby pug that died like years ago

and then the Momento Mori sinks in which is just the worst feeling ever

I do drink lots of milk so I think I get enough D (maybe), but I have been avoiding my exercise

Little things can make a big difference in mood. Maybe rearrange the furniture in your bedroom or something

aside, the weather outside, while not precisely cold, is very windy and snowy and it's that fine dry snow... I can FEEL the humidity being sucked out of my skin and eyeballs

my skin is so chuffed right now

me too. it's not the cold by itself; the cold air still has normal moisture %, just low moisture total (say 5/8 to make up some numbers).

then when you heat it up to warm your home, the moisture capacity increases, and the % drops way down (the same 5 but now out of 80 for more made up numbers), which is why the warmed air then does literally suck the moisture from your body to bring its % back up.

a humidifier is the solution to this problem although I have yet to get one myself.

Im sorry, bro. Hope you feel better.

And milk doesnt provide the Vit D you need.

I'm feeling mostly better

I'm relatively sure the biggest impact was the cold front... since it dipped -32c last night and is currently -27 - that's a 40 degree one day drop
