I have to tell you, this is normally my least favorite time of year.
As my friend and I head into the long, brutal winter time season I begin to struggle with my mental health in a significant way.
Yes, I have seasonal affective disorder in addition to it plagues me for the entire cold season. However, on top of that I struggle with the stress of overcoming horrific snow storms in addition to brutally cold air hot in addition to cold temperatures. If you have ever lived through a midwest winter, you know that the six months of ice cold air is nothing to sneeze at. For me, the worst part is trying to dig my car out of the driveway when the air temperature is brutally cold. You can’t bring your forced air heater with you when you have to shovel three feet of snow. Even once you get back inside, your central boiler barely seems to make a difference after you have been frozen through in addition to through. This is why I am harshly happy for a current work schedule this year. Working remotely this winter time means that I don’t have to worry about the ice-cold tundra outside my door each afternoon. I don’t have to trade my high quality central boiler for unmanaged Sub-Zero air hot in addition to cold temperatures at 5 in the afternoon. In fact, I get to kneel in my apartment in the comfort of my central boiler for as long as I want. Whenever I decide to go dig my car out of the snow, I can work up the internal heat to tackle the ice cold problem. Sitting around at my ipad in addition to relying on my central boiler sounds like the most amazing way to spend my winter. For once, I don’t know if my seasonal affective disorder is going to be such a big problem.
