I have no problem with seasonal depression in February/March even though I hate winter. It shows up for me between Thanksgiving and New Year's. I had 3 grandparents and my mother pass away during those 6 weeks over the years. And, with not having either parent, no siblings or no children Christmas season is not fun at all.
I'm not on meds but I find that if I do something that keeps my mind busy during that time, it helps keep the depression from getting worse. Since 2016, that has been doing jigsaw puzzles. I also tend to scrap a lot during that time.
Once the calendar changes to January 1, the fog lifts for me.
As for the weather, we had flurries a couple hours ago but it could be in the 60's next week, maybe even hit 70 a week from now!
