Honestly, I used to feel this way until I started doing outdoor winter activities. Snowshoe, hike, ski/snowboard. Just getting outside and active gives your brain all the good chemicals. I look forward to winter every year even though my main hobbies are warm weather hobbies.

Why the hell do you mention red state? The OP didn't bring politics into this.

Yup, this. My spouse takes the train from New Haven to NYC three times a week, and 45 minutes to the Hartford area isn’t bad at all on the other side.

I have SAD but I don’t want to live anywhere else. Get outside and walk/exercise no matter how cold it is. The temperature doesn’t matter—it’s about getting sunlight. You can buy a lightbox. Be sure to take a vitamin d3 supplement and consider going on anti depressants for a few months. Honestly, I would be much more depressed living in a red state.

Try getting a ‘sun’ light. Also, try to get out side during the day or definitely on weekends if you work during the week. Both will make a huge difference.

I didn't leave because of seasonal depression but I left because the cold sucks balls and I hated it (despite being someone who plays hockey all year).

Weather splits a lot of people, I know plenty of people who would rather eat dirt then live in a place with no seasons and I have people who live vicariously through me during the winter months up North.

Leaving family and friends can be tough but unless you have the personality of a gently used toaster strudel you'll find new people to click with.

Really not a fan of the "cold months" which are for me November - April heh. I generally go south 5 weeks in January/February because I work on a farm and we have that time off. The weather is pretty much my least favorite part of living in CT, but my family is here and I could not stand to live in any of the warm states except maybe Hawaii.

LOL reduce taxes, not in this state

Another reason to discard “hallucinogen” and substitute “psychedelic” or “entheogen”

You want me to bring my fuckin' tools?!

Lol tell me your genx without telling me

February and march are brutal here. Endless grey gloom. They should move Christmas/winter holidays to March so at least we’d have something to look forward to.

This doesn’t surprise me one bit. Based on my experiences, he seems like the type to offer minimum wage then complain when he can’t find staff.

But you just read the same thing I did where the EEOC says they can use an arrest as the basis not to hire someone.

Yeah it’s hard to pick up and move. Expensive too

The Dems do that shit all the time too.. it's time we set fire to both parties here in CT.

I've wanted to my entire life but life had other plans.

Sheas might have it on both inside and outside if it's a big enough crowd. Elicit Brewing is also likely to have it on their giant screen.

Depression is horrible and for some , crippling.

This said The best course of action for some is Psilocybin. I have taken the recreational for sure, but in small doses for depression is truly a gift and amazing

The guy that runs the Sonics is a huge dick. Used to work for a company that did a personal event for him when he ran the Villa Capri. He wanted top of the line everything… then never paid the bill. Assume it would be comped. Not sure why…

Being a neighboring state they probably have a harder time determining. But the cold hard facts are you are intentionally screwing over the town you live in. Why would you rather send your tax money to a town in MA you no longer live in?

Came to say the same thing. A hidden gem.

Get the green peppers and onions!
