Yeah I used to live in California so I didn’t get that feeling. But now I’m living in Utah and I get that winter depression I just try to tough it out.

Answer by Ella
Yes, I get sad during the cold season, or when it is dark outside or cold and dark. My body response to the sun and I get happy. Anyway, I suggest that you eat summer foods during the winter like fruit and stuff and it will bring you energy. Try and excercise, surround yourself with positive people and maybe try and journal. You will be ok! Trust me.
