SheeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiT
I haven't moved from a cold, dreary and dark climate to a warm and sunny one... And I have at the same time. I feel like the Schrödinger's cat*. And I don't.
I have never believed that climate and weather can have such a huge impact on a person. Or at least on myself.
And here I am.
I am feeling a significant, if not a life-changing difference between how I felt during winter, even two months ago in February, and how I am feeling right now in late April.
This is definitely due to the lack of Sun (not solely of course).
I haven't moved. Still in Dublin, Ireland. Why is the geographical location important?
Vitamin D deficiency might be the reason. According to this fella:

He claims we need to go out between 11AM-1PM for 15-25mins daily to get enough sunlight for our skin to produce enough of vitamin D. And if we live above 32N (32S probably too) latitude then we can't get enough between October - February even if we stood in the Sun for the whole day (incorrect/insufficient angle).
The only thing I don't agree is his calculation. So to get the most Vit D you need to go outside for 15-25mins or so BUT the times are different for every location. For Dublin, Ireland the Sun culminates during Summer Time (UTC+1?) at 13:23PM local time (GMT) so to get enough Vit D you need to go out between 12:23PM and 14:23PM for 15-25mins or so. Daily (not 11-1PM).

And according to different sources Dublin is so far up North that we won't get the correct Sun angle even in March, or part of the month. So I would say October - March we need to supplement with tablets.
Again, I am talking somewhere around 4000UI daily (couple of thousands % RDA). And again, according to difference sources and myself and my family. You cannot overdose. But check yourself because if you get sick then don't complain you are bankrupt or dead because you listened to some random guy on the internet.
Hope this helps someone here. It helped me a lot. This won't change your environment totally but could help at least a little (a couple of %) to start and improve your life and get energy, gain momentum and make bigger changes (e.g. ditching toxic friends, people from your life etc etc etc)...

It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects.)
