My seasonal depression has begun.

Read that as “seasoned depression”, and all I could think of was how tasty my depression would be with some adobo.

Edit: Typo

I would prefer seasoned depression if I'm being honest.

Legit, Carlson's Cod Liver Oil (lemon flavor, yellow cap! Just tastes lemony!). Fixed my whole shit right up.

My dude, that stuff is expensive! But not nearly as expensive as therapy 😏

Mine hits in the summer, since i absolutely hate hot weather. Hang in there friend - it'll be my turn again soon enough.

I was really hoping that we weren’t going to be doing it this year

I believe there is a bill currently awaiting a vote to have this daylight savings be the last one from now on

To my knowledge it has already passed, supposed to start next year

I found out this week it passed the senate but not the house. It could pass before next spring, but I doubt it.

StonksGuy3000 t1_ivcoxzu wrote

Only needs to be passed before next fall, because we’d spring forward either way

Only the senate passed it. The house sat on it and hasn’t voted.

We shouldn't have sunsets at 4 whatever. If we can't make DST normal, we should join Atlantic standard time

I hate leaving work in the dark. What time is it now? Midnight? Oh... no... 6:25.😖

I want it to be dark in the morning and light at night.

The fall back thing made waking up early very easy. We should do it every weekend.

knowslesthanjonsnow t1_ivd2wzl wrote

Honestly not a bad idea. Every Friday we can jump from 4pm to 5pm and then get that hour back overnight

Time for me to switch from my standard depression to my seasonal depression and stock up on vitamin d supplements

Already over this crap. Thing is I LOVE the holiday season but after New Years Day it's gloomy, dark and cold.

give_me_wine t1_ivd1876 wrote

Winter after New Years is so depressing. Everyone puts away their pretty Christmas decorations and everything is gloomy and dark. I hate putting away my Christmas tree, that’s why I left it up until February one year 😬

I'm that house that sets up Christmas lights and then switches to winter colors after Jan 1st. Colored lights for the holidays and blue/white till March 1st.

By then it's steadily getting lighter later. Will still be light out at 5pm

I hope the bill gets passed where we just have the permanent daylight savings time.

Business-Impress4792 t1_ivcg8vc wrote

I embrace my hibernation!! It’s the only way to get through (plus vitamin d supplements)

Also standard time is elite. Google it people

Gotta prepare myself for all the “I can’t believe how dark out it is right now” bullshit that happens every year.

give_me_wine t1_ivczvlu wrote

It always feels so weird to me. It’s only 8:30PM right now but it feels so much later. I felt bad for my boyfriend last night, he works at a bar that closes at 2AM on the weekends so he had to stay an extra hour last night on top of his usual 10 hour shift 😬

I remain the lord of time by turning my clocks back one hour every hour. How many time travelers do you know with seasonal depression? Zero.

championofthelight t1_ivd3okt wrote

I guess i’m in the minority but for me the more darkness the better. I am not a fan of sunlight. Maybe it’s from my years of working third, or my severe depression.

Cinema_King t1_ivepe1u wrote

I’m not a fan of the early darkness but since I love cold weather and means that it’s close I usually like this time of year.

I say usually because this bullshit 70+ weather we’ve have been stuck with sucks. I’m getting very impatient for the cold.

Get rid of it, and move to Atlantic Standard Time.

I propose we let time drift a few minutes every day so that sunset is always 8pm.

Yes, I remembered when this happened in the 70s. (I am that old.)

It was a response to the energy crisis. People did hate it. I remember a lot of parents complaining about kids waiting for their school bus in pitch darkness.

I mean, you can’t have it both ways, but I think most people would prefer to not have it be dark by the end of the work day. Having 5-6 hours of darkness before bedtime also feels disorienting.

Mattias2000 t1_iveoj35 wrote

Check your self. I get up every day at 5am so it's dark for me driving to work no matter what. So I'd atleast like to have more than 2 hours of sunlight after getting home.

It’s worse to wake up at 7:30 am and it’s still dark. Embrace waking early and gong to bed early!!! Hibernation time.

The House has had the Senate version of the bill for 7 months and Pelosi couldn't be bothered to put a bipartisan, well-supported bill to the floor for a vote. This is one reason (of hundreds) why we're sick and tired of politicians.
