> > what do you ruminate over?
the newly warm weather seems to send warm-weather memories to my brain -- so, for example, i'll have a warm-weather memory of taking my kids to play group in the summer and i'll ruminate over how i don't get to do that anymore (b.c. i'm divorced, only have the kids 50% of the time, and work full-time now. it leads to depression about my situation.) or i ruminate about bad things that happened in warm weater, for example, the depression i went through in april/may '99, the horrible fight i had with my then-husband 2 years ago in the summer that was the final straw leading us to separate. or memories of terrible, anxiety-filled summer vacations with my family in childhood.
