Feeling low this February, which seems sapped of sunshine?
Chattanooga resident Margy Oehmig knows how you feel.
“I think it’s depressing,” said Ms. Oehmig, 55. “You just have to figure out a way to get up and get through it.”
The last day that the sun peeked out from behind the clouds in Chattanooga for at least a few hours was Feb. 1, according to the National Weather Service’s Craig Carpenter.
And a lack of sunlight that prolonged can make people feel down in the dumps, said Nancy Badger, director of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s Counseling and Career Planning Center. There’s even a name for it, she said: seasonal affective disorder.
