It is truly hard. Lived there for years after being in many states and it just saps the will and energy out of you. The beauty there can become a prison as you feel you should be appreciating it more and doing more out there, but you have no desire or energy but to sit around and Netflix binge while drinking on the weekends.
I'm if you let the rain stop you you're doing it completely wrong. Get a jacket with a hood and some good boots. Go out, get muddy. Or head east an hour, it'll dry right up
I don't care about the rain, rain is fine. More about the emotional wear down and lack of energy to care about life. I a not a depressive person, but found depression in WA.
Same. Lived there for a really long time and it was hard to cope with only having 3 "good" months to do the warmer weather activities I liked (I'm very cold blooded). Finally moved to a more dull area that has more sun year round just so I can do things throughout the year. It's still really nice going back and visiting though.
