To want to spend the rest of the winter snuggled under a duvet hibernating.

Is it just me or is it always when it gets to about now i.e mid Feb that my body just wants to curl up in a ball, brain goes all foggy and I just want to finish out the Winter sleeping, no motivation or mojo.

My response to this time of year is to frantically research holidays to the Canary Islands.

Yes but I force myself to do the opposite as I know it’s better in the long run. I have SAD and this year is particularly bad due to all the grey. I hate that 6 months of the year is a write off for me 😭.

Sipping a cuppa now under my warm electric blanket

Fortunately I'm retired and I can get up whenever I like

Yep me too. I am trying to counter it this year by forcing myself for a walk every day and by being productive in the house instead of wallowing but it’s hard to get motivated.

Not usually for me but this year I’m fully with you.

I walk the dog every morning, it helps a bit, I’m knackered by lunch time though.

Absolutely, February is the least enjoyable month of the year. Feels like I'm just limping on to spring.
