We in Austin often get SAD at the end of spring, facing another summer that will keep us indoors for several months.

Winters can be lovely here as long as one has a chance to get out in the middle of the day - we usually have many sunny days with temperatures above freezing.

At least it went to someone who really appreciated it. <br />I used to struggle with SAD, but it hasn't been so bad for me that last couple of years. Getting outside really helps.
