Guess it’s a depression remnant, whenever winter comes, I just kinda do nothing but stare into the glowing rectangle all day. How can I change that? Any ideas?
Movement. Getting warm from moving myself helps me infinitely. Falling motivation for that, give a sauna a go.
Taking vitamin D?
Already doing that
Start going for walks in the morning and evening. Retrain yourself from thinking that dark outside = sleepytime.
Go outside while there is daylight. It’s a small counter to the darkness without any side effect.
Seasonal depression. Really bright lights on a timer in the morning.
I used to use those halogen work light set up beside the bed with a special dawn simulator timer. But it looks like they are out of business. In the end, I just moved to Florida to avoid winter,
here are some commercial dawn simulators. Go for maximum lumens

I have a really bright room light to combat that. Daylight lamps for desks are also available. Heading outside around noon is also a good idea.
Cocaine.
No money.
Is stealing from a drug dealer really theft?
Lookup seasonal affective disorder. SAD.
Could try light therapy. Buy a specialized light and spend time under it reading a book.
Also winter sports. Skiing etc…
Sounds like you need a sport that can be done in the winter. Indoor sport. Swimming, racquetball, etc.
