Reply to comment by Bruins125 in Has anyone moved out of CT because of seasonal depression? I enjoy CT but I’m only happy during June- august. by [deleted]

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.

I try to go for hikes daily when possible, where I live there's a lot of options so I switch it up to keep things fresh. If I can't or don't feel like driving, I take walks through downtown/along the CT River (live in Middletown). Honestly, even that helps combat SAD, and this past winter, I really wasn't that depressed apart from late December/January.
