Sounds like dehydration. Drink lots of water in the summer.

this.

The major depression as well though?

maybe the deep-fried scottish diet doesn't agree with hot weather. maybe you're demon spawn and the light terrifies you.

maybe eat more herring? for the omega 3?

dude, this sucks, i get the winter blues, and i take PILLZ. i hate that but it works. now that it's sunny and we have longer days i'm off that shit. fuck!

scotland: nice! once while traveling i met these scottish girls from dundee-- lovely lovely people. there were other scottish girls from edinburgh but they were royal cunts. dundee FTW.

solution: go to dundee in the summer? hook up w/ sweet sweet beautiful girls? maybe your sadness is frustrated horn.

but yeah drink some fucking water ha ha ha.

ps- diesel is a doctor?

pps- there was an italian dude in this board who was a med student. god damn this board is dead these days.

ppps - wow. pookie posted!

Yeah I'm afraid my doctor will probably just prescribe me pills. I know dehydration isn't the only component for my sadness.. and for the record, I eat tons of fish for those asking. Cod, tuna, salmon and omega 3 tablets to boot.

And yeah Dundee is cool, very cold as well fortunately. I was going to go to university there this year but I realised I didn't want to leave home so young. Was also planning on maybe going to Edinburgh University but they rejected me so you're right, total cunts.

PS. Yeah man, diesel is a high class guy.

PPS. The board is dead cause atsonicpark isn't here to post a book everyday.

PPPS. I'm honoured it was in my thread.

do you exercise? do you exercise less in those months?

there are so many reasons it could be.

maybe you just dont like summer. that is okay too you know.

I go to the gym 3 times a week.

Yeah, I don't like the summer and get major depressed over it. Which kind of defines reversal SAD.

shit, that's how you spell edinburgh.

GO TO DUNDEE NOW.

Did you lose your virginity in the summer?

I lost my virginity during the month of October or November.

i am not really sure that SAD actually exists and there are usually more underlying issues involved.

I told you. It's all these people expecting you to pretend excitement and happiness. And sweat.

Last summer I was out with my friend and I complained to her about the sun burning my skin. She said "but it's kind of nice, right?" "like when someone spills hot coffee on you? no". SO SHE TOLD ME there must be something wrong with me because other people don't feel that way?

I managed to sort this out by switching hemispheres once a year, it works well but not so easy to do.

Everything is hard to do during summer. Hard to find any energy to go out to do anything at all, you have less energy, walk slower, you burn, your legs seem heavy and you're tired after 15 minutes. It's hard to breathe, the air seems heavier. Nothing you do makes you feel any better, no escape, 3 months of this intrusive sunlight.

I feel the same as you knox. My dad calls me 'weirdo' all the time cause I don't want to go out cycling or to the beach with my friends during the summer.

I like summer late at night though when the temperature is mild but it's dark and there's stars in the sky for once.

I always get more depressed during the winter and when it rains.

Oh I absolutley love the beach!!! Guess that's a given cause I love Florida. I love to lay in the sun till I am so hot I have to go jump in the water which is very cold right now. Last week when we went I was hit by a flying umbrella and a football landed on my ass.
