Winter's creepy powers on human mind...... what is winter doing to your mind?
Here in Canada winters are long and cold, and this has a clear effect on human mind. During winter the number of suicides increase
There is a name for the evils caused by winter on the mind, is it called "SAD" short for Seasonal Affective Disorder
However, I believe winter affects people in different ways. In my case, I don't feel sad, winter makes me lazy yes, It gives me art block. I over sleep I feel like hibernating.
Another clear symptom on me, is that my sexual desires just disappear I don't feel like mating anymore I am not in the mood
What about you? what is winter doing to your mind?

It froze my mind I can't even think as much as I did before.If I did it before.
tired sick and lonely. very lonely
Winter always makes me feel fairly low and unfocused, as well as very tired. Very annoying to say the least.
It's freezing my brain
but brain freeze is kind of fun
Oh it is
It's 7C/45F and rainy right now where I live...in Canada. This is shorts-wearing weather, actually.
'SAD' in theory should affect me year round; I rarely go outside during daylight hours, but as I'm super sensitive to ultraviolet light, my vitamin D levels don't drop. Nor do I get affected by cabin fever - I love solitude as it's great creative time. Winter seems to make me more active than the peak of summer - I feel restless in cold temperatures and super sluggish in hot.
I'm actually looking to gain a dozen pounds this winter, too. Been eating a ton more food (w/ extra helpings of creams, butters, fats) and still stuck at 126lbs. I need that extra weight to keep my stamina going through the day as my metabolism is just wonky.

I guess you live in BC, or somewhere near the east coast. Because the prairies and the north have been frozen for a few weeks now
Yes, I do live elsewhere. I used to live in the prairies. All that snow, and wind...I do not regret moving. Not one bit.
Stay warm.
Stay warm.
I would move, but they say there are no jobs in warm canada
Alas, I can't tell you how the job market is here since I haven't worked in a decade. (Uh, but for health reasons - don't let my lack of employment put you off!)
but no job, no money
Catch 22 situation, hmm. You can always push more for commissions and other creative online projects. Your gallery certainly shows you're on the right track.

It is turning me into a snowman. True story.

I'm a were-snowman?
yes, you are if you bite other people they will turn into snowmen or snowwomen
And then, they will turn into the French.
Fried.. French?
