Seattle weather life threatening?

Dec 7, 2020 9 Comments

We moved from Bay Area to Seattle Area around a year back. We were in California for several years, so are very much use to sunny and bright weather. We were able to survive first winter in Seattle last year waiting for summer. The real summer here was just for 3 months (July - Sep). My wife have been having severe health issues this year and due to COVID (WFH etc.) + weather here, she went to depression too. Medical system in US didn’t help much and the only option we were left is that she traveled to our country of origin with my son. She traveled back and we hope she will get good treatment there and with family support, she will get well soon.
I have been mentally very strong but after they left, I have been feeling very lonely and started to going to depression because of this weather and COVID WFH situation.

It’s holiday season and I cannot travel to my country as my visa is not stamped and embassy is operating with limited capacity. I have plans to leetcode + reading DDIA etc. but not able to play with my mind to come out of loneliness and depression.

Please give me tips to survive in this life threatening situation. No troll please.

    Move to a new house with a lot of natural lights. It makes a huge difference in Seattle

  • Take vitamin D supplements. Really does help with the absence of the Sun, etc. Use apps like better help. Does your healthcare benefits at Microsoft not have mental health benefits?

  • This is almost similar story as mine. The weather in Seattle really made me depressed but couldn’t leave due to the visa situation. My depression was much worse though I used the mood lighting, tried a meditation, and exercise. I broke up with my bf who lives in Bay area and he tried to help but it didn’t work out for me and felt lonely. I temporarily moved to another state (booked airbnb for a month) and have been feeling much better now. I hope it helps for u.

    Make a plan to drive to the east of Cascades during the weekends. It is only 2 hrs away and you get plenty of sunshine. Looking forward to sunshine during an upcoming weekend will boost your spirits as well
