>>1465219 i used to scoff at people who say this- but this year i'm getting really bad winter depression. i have not been out at all this winter (no winter hikes, no snowboarding, no winter camping) except for some scuba i did through a large resort in the Caribbean which was nice but i never got that "wild" or "remote" feeling i get in the woods or in a kayak.
all this concrete and cold is making me deteriorate mentally. i am losing interest in my hobbies and work. my sex drive is way down. i don't do anything anymore, i just come home from work and play vidya. i dont want to get out of bed in the morning.
whats really dumb is that my life is fucking amazing, i should feel great, i have just about anything i ever wanted and then some but i dont really have the energy to engage with any of it.
I am normally a really easy going happy person but this morning i was a wreck. im smoking cigarettes more and more. i'm so fucking sick of the cold. im sick of feeling like a poser every-time i check this board.
i know i sound like a hippy but if i don't get into a sunny meadow, camping hammock, or on the ocean soon i'm going to have to start taking days off work.
tl;dr i have winter depression like a bitch and really want to go camping
