I moved to sunny California because of this having started out in Seattle which is known for being cloudy and rainy a lot. My mood has been way better overall and I find that spending a bit of time in the sun each day makes me feel as right as rain. I would go so far as to say my life is a lot better because of this as it prevented some self loathing behavior or unnecessarily prolonged melancholy sans medication.

Probably accurate to say I'm solar powered.

One year back in my hometown the weather was so perfect for a year it kind of got me down.

It was just perfectly sunny and clear for what felt like 320 days.

Weird.

I would’ve loved to see some cold gloomy days but I hardly did.

Yah I don't understand how all the factors come together and my hindsight is probably even wrong as I met new people and worked out more and a lot of good things happened and opportunities etc. But I do know that getting some sun for sure helps me feel better, not being broke, having a good social life and getting some good exercise in is all positive on the mood.
