This morning over coffee, I did what I normally do.

@thibaultamartin I can certainly relate to this! In my case, I just want to be outside but I'm not equipped for the winter -- or am just too inexperienced to do serious winter backpacking/hiking on a regular basis. (I suppose the equipment side of that is relatively straightforward to solve, though... just expensive!)
The whole fireplace + books (or comics) is a comfortable place to exist though.
Your comment also makes me realize that going to sleep AND waking up in the dark isn't awesome.

This entire thread and all the thoughtful insights are exactly why I love this place.
You are people with depth, character, and realness. Thanks for being brave enough to share your own personal struggles and for being awesome.

@jnv Let's just say it was a brutal summer and I learned a lot of lessons... that said, I'm successfully growing some carrots and radishes for the winter, and planted some rainbow chard and a variety of lettuce and cabbage. Fingers crossed!

@killyourfm I’ve always felt gloomy in November for several reasons but this year is particularly rough. I think this is a club with many members.

@idoubtit Despite the connective tissue bringing this club together, I bet the people in this club are amazing humans.

@killyourfm I've been feeling somewhat same. Seasonal flu sucks! Have missed a lot of school too. As for me, I've on the internet for most of my teenage years and I've noticed this decline of interest in myself too. It's for many reasons - main one being life catching up with as the years go on and becoming busier with studies.

@killyourfm There are periods of gloominess where I feel quite beaten down. I've noticed that in times like these, unwinding, detaching from most of what I do and focusing more on myself, my interests, doing things for myself and doing things/indulging with things that truly make me happy help a lot. Whether it's an album that I cherish so much (Sunbather, I love you) or writing some poetry. Having an outlet helps a lot, poetry does that for me.

@killyourfm Always remember to talk to someone about how you feel, how things are going for you and just have a honest conversation. Be honest with others and most importantly, with yourself.
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through it - however difficult it may prove to be. We have each other for support, love, comfort and care

@stewbsss I really appreciate you, Stewbs.
