Cabin Fever

If you live somewhere remote or even near a little town where it gets really cold somewhere during the winters you will have to survive "Cabin Fever" unless you get in your car or on a plane and go someplace else warm for a little bit.

In the northern Hemisphere cabin fever usually begins around the end of January where Christmas is over and you cannot see spring coming until at least the end of March or April. So, you start to get a little crazy and arguments about with your family and sometimes you get so upset you make yourself sick. This is called "Cabin Fever" and if you grew up in warmer climates this could get especially bad for you not being used to it because you might just think you are going crazy.

Nope. That's not it. You have cabin fever. People who grew up with cabin fever have developed ways to cope with it. You visit friends. You go to a movie. You go somewhere else for a weekend that is warmer or more interesting than where you are. What you need is change which you won't get cooped up by the cold somewhere in a small house or apartment. So, coping mechanisms must be found if you and your family want to stay together and not get a divorce or something during "Cabin Fever" every winter where it snows a lot or gets very cold for 3 to 6 months of the year.
