Maybe healthy interior design needs to look more like a terrarium.

I would like that, the structure would not.
For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.

Finally the fucking winter is over. I was so irritated. No one believes me.

In basic terms. Humans have a hibernation instinct, from somewhere in our past. When the days start to get short, and we get less sunlight, our brain tries to kick this in. It makes us want to be lethargic and sleep a lot. Unfortunately, modern life isn't conducive to this. When you push past it, the effects are very similar to depression.
Different people are affected to different degrees. Some are downright miserable, others unaffected. It's also possible to treat it. Sun lamps can trick the brain into thinking it's not winter, as vitamin D. The effectiveness of this can vary, however, and it doesn't compete with the real sun jumpstarting your brain back to full functionality.
Unaffected gang checking in. I'm also lactose tolerant and I have the extra tendon in my thumb. If anyone suffers from SAD, I recommend drinking a gallon of milk a day.

I'm the opposite. I fuckin love going for a walk in the chilly, crisp air when it's cold out. Also less people and it's quieter.

I thought that's where it came from, living in places without seasonal changes

Seasonal depression comes from the lack of light in winter at higher latitudes. My days are 12 hours of sun (+- 30 minutes) every day all year round.

Windows are expensive and developers want to maximize profit, so spec-built homes often have the minimum amount of fenestration required by the building code.

I like the rain. Stay inside, open a window or a door. Watch and listen to the rain. Or go out in a covered area like a porch.

I've personally never felt down because there being less light. Summer there's too much and winter there's too little, but I'm lucky that it doesn't affect me much.

Okay. That's kind of cool at least. Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.

Surviving through November in Finland is good enough.

some vitamin d supplements and we're good

This was me this past Tuesday. Full arms out, tee and shorts, soaking up every last drop of warmth like a starved plant.
Hopefully it’ll sustain until proper spring but it was glorious for that moment.

I don't usually do those. I have multivitamins always at home but I just never remember to take them. Too forgetful in the mornings.
