I feel like I am becoming a hermit since living here....Last weekend I spend the majority of my time inside. Which is unlike me.
...Buy warmer clothes I guess? I see no reason why you'd stay inside since we didn't get any big amounts of rain or snow since that huge blizzard in late december...
Usually the Jan-Feb period is the worst for me, but its not that bad anyway. I have lived in much colder climates.
Honestly, I have never been as depressed in my life since moving here. I haven't seen the sun in almost a week now, and the snow, rain, sleet is never ending.
I feel it's very unhealthy also. The human body needs Vitamin D and the sun is a good source.
And last summer was so unbearably hot that I didn't even spend as much time outside as I normally like to.
How do you native NYers do it?? How do you stay sane in this depressing, dreary place?

I guess it's just a lack of motivation.....when it's freezing cold and grey out it seems much easier to just stay home.
It is depressing. I hate it also. I am headed West for retirement, that is the only thing that keeps me going.
Besides, I did all the fun things in NY already, and they are all gone now......
I was in Miami for NYE I am assuming most of the women there move their for the sun. You can tell by their leathered, aged faces. Seriously they looked like 60 and they where only 25. Yikes.

wow its pretty obvious you dont get around much. If you think nyc weather is the worst how about you head upstate or go to the midwest.
My homegirl lives in ohio and its been snowing their since around Halloween.
This is my first NY winter and being from the South, I feel the same way as you do. It is so depressing in the winter, but the snow has been the worst so far!
smh so were you expecting palm trees also?? its winter time get over it. Once spring comes and summer comes nyc will have plenty of warm comfy weather up until November off coarse.
