well yes I am always depressed 😭 but the cold makes it worse lol

My daughter suffers as well. Tanning beds are bad but the light helps so put on the lotion and join the planet fitness. Once a week in the blue light helps.

Glad I wasn't the only one to experience that. I did 6 years in North Hollywood and couldn't do it anymore. Like you said, they're just cut differently on the west coast and I got fed up with it. Sure it's colder and I do miss the food scene but I'm happier here on the East Coast. One day I'll go to San Diego for a vacation.

Totally agree. It helps to get out even when it’s cold. Just walking in nature, feeling the cold air in your lungs and saying an occasional hello to your neighbors helps.

Florida would be my pick

I think being depressed 75% of the year goes past the "seasonal" prefix

Unless you are planning to move to CA, most other warmer places (am thinking TX, FL) can turn out to be relatively cheaper compared to CT

You’re right September is okay. But towards the end of September I get depressed knowing it’s about to be cold again soon

I cannot understand why someone wouldn't like September and October in Connecticut. They are the best two months of the year here. I definitely understand hating the Winter grind but Autumn is absolutely phenomenal.

If you are only happy when it's hot, then you really need to live closer to the equator.

Screw them. Reddit isn’t real life. Take a trip down and look around at the very least.

Fort meyers is pretty county tho. Not much to do

Let the sadness wash over you like a mountain stream after a long cold winter

Fair point, but ineptitude on the part of the city and their vendor is not necessarily an excuse. By that rationale the government shouldn't be involved in almost anything. The solution there is due diligence and more accountability, not taking down those cameras.

I mean, why the hell does that stretch of road have a limited time frame in which speed limits are enforced? In countries I've been where they have speed cameras they're on 24 hours a day.

only happy june through august? september in new england is what i imagine is behind the pearly gates of heaven. i can't imagine anyone not absolutely fawning over september connecticut

thank you!!

If you want to move, move, but try some other things too, like those sunlight lamps. I'm originally from SC and knew plenty of people there who suffered from SAD, despite the all-around warmer weather.

Nahhh I hate the heat, thinking of moving north.

I’m in the minority I guess- I’m heading north. I like to ski and I like lakes and mountains in both winter and summer and CT just doesn’t cut it. Not too mention it’s too hot for me here in the summer.

I feel this. I hate everything outside may-august and maybe some days in April / September.

I get so depressed on Oct / Nov knowing it's over.

I have small sparks of joy during the first few snows.

February through April is mostly just cold, and sometimes rainy, but mostly a grayscale hellscape of mud and ice and dead plants.

Have you tried snowboarding or skiing? Seasonal depression becomes a distant memory once you fall in love with a winter sport

And this is where critical thought, and the ability to think outside the box needs to come into your equation. By your own words, it is not the arrest that can be used against a person, but rather their behavior during the process. A person who resist arrest and say attacks the cop in the process, would be a problem. But in that situation, the issue isn't that they were arrested, the issue was that they chose to say attack the cop. You're reading what it says, now I need you to pay attention to what it says.

I’m gonna recommend you be as upfront as possible and you may be able filter job searches where employers are hiring people with criminal records.

September and October are my favorite months here. Nothing like our foliage and that crisp autumn air 🍁

Yeah, I can’t go on the Florida subreddit and say how I’d like to live in there state, they will attack me and tell me exactly why I shouldn’t 😭😂

You haven’t noticed that comments are what Reddit is all about? And, what’s really special is that people can comment both positively and negatively on things! They can joke, be sarcastic, all sorts of options! Complete sentences are also helpful.

It literally says the employer can determine that the conduct at issue in the arrest is a reason not to hire if it makes the person not fit for the position.

And get real, employers aren’t telling you the reason they don’t hire you. There is nothing that actually prevents them from just deciding a candidate with pending charges “isn’t a good fit” and just not calling them back.
