I’d like to hear from others suffering from reverse seasonal affective disorder. I also hate sun, love dreary days, and nighttime. I have lived by other people’s preferences for warmth and sun. A few weeks into the summer, I feel loss of energy and depressed mood. After years of this, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. Tell me more about International Falls, Minnesota. I spent the one good summer of my life in Pullman, WA. I live in the south. Give me some ideas.

As you can see by my e-mail address, I CANNOT stand any season except late fall and winter. I am especially ecstatic when it gets dark early and when it is very cold and very snowy. When any hint of spring comes, I am instantly depressed! When I wake up in the late morning (I am a night person) and see snow, I can hardly contain my happiness. Everyone I know thinks I’m crazy. I hate sun, long days and any temperature above 25 degrees. I like rain, darkness, snow and cold. I want to move to International Falls, Minnesota, dubbed “The Icebox of America.”

I’m working on an article about summertime seasonal affective disorder. Anyone interested in talking to me about their summertime blues? Can do it online or by phone. Especially need a Connecticut person, if at all possible. Thanks folks,

I agree. I have large pupils and thus a sensitivity to light. I spent 29 miserable hot years in Florida. Toward the end I actually began to imagine my brain was over heated. I am fascinated by the arctic. I have relocated to Colorado which I find can become quite warm. Whats a girl to do?

Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks summer sucks…

Ugh…
