Winter makes me blue

This year now it's getting darker, and colder, I keep finding myself more miserable. The same happened last year, and one of my friends said it could be Seasonal Affective Disorder. Not that I'm worried about going crazy, or having these disorders, what's a good way to feel refreshed rather than miserable and tired and like you're making an effort to do anything.
In the summer I am always happy and full of energy (unless I'm genuinely exhausted) and I can sympathise with those who are truly lathargic a lot of the time for one reason or another. Showers, and the usual 'refreshing' techniques don't seem to work for me. I feel sleepy headed all the time if you get what I mean.
Anyway, if anyone can help at all it will be much appreciated.

Hope you're feeling better soon
Feeling SAD?
Health MOT for winter
i don't suffer from it myself really but theres people on my site that do. you're more than welcome to visit if you like. (see link in my sig)
I don't think it's SAD probably, but just winter blues. However, I will take the advice for lethargy onboard, and hope that helps. Thanks
short days = less serotonin (happy chemical) + less vitamin D produced by your body = feel crappy and ill lots.
but if it starts to affect your life then it might be SAD, and you should get help.
wrap up warm. keep positive, and drink lots of warm drinks and eat warm hearty foods. start taking multi vits? and go for walks when you can. get exercise outside.
keep that chin up dude......you have such a lovely smile it would be a shame to see it disapper
i find my depression gets worse in winter, this is the second year in a row that college and work seem to get harder to bear as winter draws in.
It is a stuggle but you get through. i have nearly dropped out of college four times in the last 2 years because of it, alothough i am a high grade student.
all i can say it, just remember summer will soon return. Keep warm, and keep the ones you love close to you. They are the ones that will get you through
maybe i'm oversimplifying things, but in my book if a lack of something makes you unhappy, then that's a happy thing.
no no, i wasnt picking holes, in the context of what you wrote it was (on present evidence) correct. Just that some people take that information and apply it to other less applicable situations is all
