Could the changing weather be playing a part in my depression?

Could the changing weather be playing a part in my depression? I feel like since the end of October I've just been depressed and I can't shake it. It's like when the weather started to change, so did my mood. I don't feel like doing anything or going anywhere. I didn't even feel like going to get my nails done a couple weeks ago and that is definitely not like me. I love getting my nails done!

I would rather lay in bed and sleep than get up and do something. I have no motivation at all. I don't even want to be sitting here posting but I am forcing myself to do it anyway. 

A few weeks ago, this guy that I was talking to and really liked decided he wanted to work things out with his ex. Things with us were going great so it was a huge slap in the face so I think that's part of why I started to get depressed. Usually when things like that happen, I bounce back within a few days  and I get over it but I feel like I just keep getting more depressed even after I stopped worrying about what's his name.

Not having a job right now is not helping at all. I have nothing to do with my day. I have a mountain of laundry that needs to be put away and another pile of clothes that need to be washed but it's like I just don't care enough to do it. I just lay in bed and stare at it.

After Thanksgiving, I usually get super excited for Christmas. I get so excited to put up decorations and buy Christmas presents for my friends and family but I'm having a really hard time getting in the spirit this year. 

Yesterday, I wanted to help my Mom put up Christmas decorations even though I wasn't really feeling it. I attempted to put together our little Christmas tree but I lost my patience pretty quickly. I ended up giving up and locking myself in my bedroom instead. I sat on my bed and cried and hated life and everything for about an hour. Over a Christmas tree? Yeah, that's what depression does to you. 

If it was warmer outside, I think that would definitely help lift my mood but it's December. It's cold and today it just happens to be raining. 

Depression sucks. No one deserves to hate life but when you're depressed, sometimes you do. It's frustrating when you know you're depressed, but there's not much you can do about it. Sure, you can force yourself to go out and make plans, or get up and do your laundry but depression won't just go away. I know mine won't. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in 2 weeks. I'm sure he'll increase my medicine or add another medicine so I'm hoping that helps!
