I live in Sweden, so the winters here are rough. Despite that, it feels almost disproportionate how absolutely terrible I feel in the dark and cold. During the few hours of sunlight I get each day I’m perfectly fine, but as soon as the sun goes down I become genuinely suicidal. It’s a very distressing thing to experience and I’ve now come to dread sundown each day, which comes a couple hours after noon. I’m not sure how to combat any of it, but as I struggle with several other mental illnesses, I know I need to. I’ll take some supplements and see where that gets me. Go outside more, get up before the sun rises so I can maximise the number of hours of sunlight I get in each day. If you have any more tips please let me know. I feel stupid and silly for being this affected by the dark but no matter how much I try to ignore it, my anxiety heightens by about a hundred in the evenings and especially in the winter.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. I’m in the same boat right now. I just recently moved out of my parents house to my college town with my boyfriend and I thought I would be the happiest I’ve ever been but it’s the opposite. I’m struggling so much with overwhelming responsibilities on top of my SAD and I just want to go home, especially at night. When I’m laying in bed at night I have suicidal thoughts and I just feel hopeless.
I live in Sweden aswell, it really is a struggle in the winter :( The thought of it getting dark at 3 pm is making me distressed, I want to flew the country for a couple months haha. And I also struggle with other mental health issues so it just affects everything. But Im going to try to be outside in the daylight as much as possible, try to eat healthy lots of fiber, fat and protein and workout reguarly! You're not alone

Great video, very informative 😊 I just purchased vitamin d supplements because of it.
Thanks for the video. This reminds me I did have vitamin D deficiency earlier in 2021, so maybe I need to revisit supplements...
I will now go out for a walk to get those last minutes of sunlight :) (although I'm in the UK during december, so wish me luck! lol)
But thankyou for the video, you've reignighted my hope that I will get past this depression... I was falling into the morbid hole of thinking about death - 15 minutes ago i felt if i go outside, i might die of a heart attack... which sounds bizarre but thats depression for you!
I just moved from Italy in Scandinavia and I’m experiencing the worst period of my life. I mean, in Italy is not that different from here (rainy, foggy, dark weather all the time, less light hours), however this is my first time feeling so bad.
I think it’s mainly because I’m struggling in socializing: danes aren’t used to socialize and become friends as easy as in Italy. Then I feel alone in this dark months.
Just to let everyone knows that you are not alone. Hope you the best
Its now late November and I feel terrible. Belgium. It gets worse each year. In combination with clinical depression, I'm a basket case and fairly worthless. I feel like a waste of oxygen and resources. I chain smoke and eat poorly but its not working. I thought a heart attack would have taken me already.

I wish this was more straight to the point. Spare us all the formalities next time please. The 2nd reccomended video when you type in, "How to fight seasonal depression" looks to be more forward. You spent more time talking about what seasonal depression is than how to actually manage it. 5 min of nonsense.
