I don't know why.

It always starts slowly at first, but it is so persistent and powerful and creeping and insidious that it actually begins to manifest through my very perception of reality.

It feels like the darkness is encroaching.

Like the days aren't as long as they used to be.

Like life isn't as warm as it used to be.

Sometimes the feeling is so powerful and feels so physical that I actually start to shiver out of depression and the only thing that can make me feel better is getting under a blanket and turning on the heater.

I know it's all in my head, but it feels real.

Maybe I'm just going mad.

Anyone else ever feel this way?

Try some vitamin D. Even with vitamin D I understand what you go through.

With no explanation to the darkness sets in. It always feels like clockwork for me but there are no reasons.

I've started to just deal with it like we all deal with things. Oh, its time to pay taxes again. Just something we all do. Normalizing it has helped me a little to deal with it.

Not to say this is something we all deal with. I know there are people who aren't touched by depression in the slightest. People who just get upset due to environmental issues.

But I don't envy them. There is always a silver lining in everything! It is my true belief that the darker the dark gets the brighter the light gets. When you are pushed to low's there is always an end to them. There are always good times again, after. I think those of us who are touched by the dark appreciate the light a little more. Maybe even a whole fucking lot more.
