I do believe winter can have a depressant effect on people. I am just not one of those. It is summer here and I am depressed.
I hear you, I'm thankful that I have never been a person who's had to deal with REAL depression. I'v always been more the cranky, irritable, "kissmyass" type of seasonal affective disorder type person. Especially since the fall and winter is when I have had my most dysfunctional interactions with my biological family. I am a major brooder and dweller upon wrongs type of guy, but, my main desire is to show the world and my family/peers that they can go fuck themselves as to what they think of me.
Rage does have it's advantages, suicide would just add to my enemies pleasure!
