Well, the cold weather is coming back. I'm starting to be concerned that:

1. I'm going to get sick and have to take cold medicine.
2. It's all going to resurface because my bad experience happened in the snowy season.

Any thoughts are great.

Hey man,
I have heard of this being a legit and documented disorder, like not the right kind of light during the winter or b/cuz it gets dark so early? As for me I am not wild about Ohio winters. Especially ice..brings out my lack of control feelings. Plus getting "stuck" if the snow is heavy and they dont do the roads, thats a big trigger of mine. And now that u mention that it was when DP first hit you, I had been in a real long "remission" I guess from DP, I'm talkin years, and last winter I had a panic attack and things went to shit after that till now, oly it just progressed right on thru Spring & Summer. So no I aint happy to see it coming. But I do like it when we actually have an autumn. I really HATE the heat and humidity so its a nice break. Tr not to project too far ahead. Who knows maybe you'll feel real strong and good by winter.
best,
---Jake

If anyone knows more about this that would be good - I hate the greyness of winter. The cold, darkness doesn't bother me really. Just the horrible greyness of the sky that seems to be there day after day, for months...

It always feels like something more doesn't it. So oppresive and bleak. I guess I should just not let it get to me. But it's made me feel 'funny' for as long as I can remember.

I get really depressed in the winter, but the fall makes me happy. Fall definitely increases the feeling of derealization with its creepy Halloween-like atmosphere, but I'm still happy its here. I hate summer. I find myself attempting to compare myself to normal, happy people more in the summer with all the recreation around me.
