Feelin much better today. I HATE getting defeated by a project, but put a few aside and knocked out a few chicken-E36 M3 things, then took the girls out and just played in the damned field all afternoon :)
Sun is the enemy of the depression monster.

The sun and dirtbikes. Gotta get mine fixed, still waiting on parts.
I could go on and on about this time of year and how it affects me mentally, but I'll let my two scheduled sessions with the psych cover that for me. IT's rough.

In reply to barefootskater :
The sun is broken? That explains why I haven't seen it in a week.

It is not a"Post" thing....its the whole meaningle$$ Christmas thing in its entirety that gets me into a dark mood. And then, without respite, it segues into the long cold and dark winter. Since I no longer have any winter specific hobbies, my next dose of sun is not scheduled until April/May 2020.
I used to have a rule that I would never inhabit a country where it got colder than my beer. Shoulda stuck with that.
On the positive side of things, Winter DOES give me something to bitch about while drinking in the shop!

The gifting felt a lot better this year. I gave and received handmade gifts and enjoyed it very much.
FWIW, I've found that vitamin D3 and B100 complex seem to help with relieve the general funk. I'm no doctor and if it's all a big placebo, then whatever, it makes me feel better. Maybe it just makes me feel like I feel better.
