Am I the only one who feels a little sad when

[Silver Swan]

the days start getting longer?

I guess I need to move father north!

1. I can't wait for the days to get longer!

I have SAD and I count the days after the first day of winter, when we can add maybe 30 seconds a day to the daylight!

2. Actually, now you should move south

Because the days are getting shorter in the southern hemisphere. And, while the number of hours of daylight above, say, the 45th parallel is low, the days lengthen with a rapidity quite gratifying to those of us who appreciate the luminary portion of the diurnal cycle.

3. Apparently, yes.

I like when the days start getting longer. Mostly because I really dislike winter, though this winter here, isn't being very winter-like so far.

And I actually don't like the long-term implications of that. We need snow in the winter so we have water in the summer.

4. Nope, not the only one.

I'm not huge into the cold, but I do like it when it gets dark early. For some reason, it reminds me of college in Wisconsin and going to frat parties. But then again, I also love rain and snow. I get depressed when there are several consecutive days of sun or if it goes too long without raining.

5. It's the same feeling I get

at the end of January when I realize the chance of really cold and/or snowy weather is dwindling.

6. I am glad when the days get longer

I get lethargic when there isn't much daylight. I live in Wisconsin and it is dark here before 5 p.m. I don't get out of work until after 5:30 p.m. I do go to work in daylight but am getting ready for work during that time.

7. I think you might be

Most of us are ecstatic when the days start getting lighter. And there is a scientific/medical condition, SAD (seasonal affective disorder), which makes note that most people getting more depressed as the days get shorter.

8. I always get a little bummed -- too many sunny days in a row and I start to get crabby. It feels

like the opposite of SAD. There are times in the summer where I just want to take to my bed with a scarf over my eyes -- not because it's hot, but because the angry rays of the evil daystar are prying into my brain. I like this time of year.

10. Opposite SAD!

Carrie Prejean, is that you? :)

12. Wait, wha?

[pinboy3niner]

13. Perfect!

:rofl:

9. Yes

I don't like these short days. :( Can't stand winter. Ready for spring already.

11. You know what makes me sad?

Oh sorry, was about to launch into the "former drill sergeant makes a terrible therapist" thing...

;) Hope the seasons bring some peace and joy!

14. No way -

already had a big snowstorm, a week of gale winds and cold.
I am counting the days until this winter is over.
