Stay Strong! 5 of the Best Ways to Cure Winter Boredom in Montana
Winter in Montana can be long and unforgiving. It can be hard to stay positive when the days are shorter and temperatures drop well below zero degrees. If you're experiencing the winter blues, staying active is one of the best ways to get rid of them.
SCROLL DOWN FOR WAYS TO CURE THE WINTER BLUES IN MONTANA
January and February are the coldest months of the year in Montana. However, this winter has been far from typical. There has been a major lack of snow which has made it difficult for ski areas throughout the state to open fully. Considering that it's already January, that definitely isn't a good thing. Skiing and snowboarding are a great way to stay active during the winter months.

When I first moved to Montana, the house that I lived in had a wood stove. I always found that going outside and chopping firewood helped lift my spirits. There's nothing like a warm fire to keep the winter doldrums at bay. If you don't have a fireplace or wood stove, don't worry. There are plenty of other ways to getting feeling better when you're down in the dumps. Just remember that you're not alone. Many Montanans suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.
SUICIDE RATES IN MONTANA AMONG HIGHEST IN AMERICA
According to Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide rates in Montana are the 2nd highest in America. Depression is treatable, and suicide is preventable. If you are in crisis and want help, call the Montana Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline, 24/7, at 988 or by texting “MT” to 741741.
