Any clinical/mental health people here? What's the name for the condition when there is no wind and we start looking for gear to purchase to fill that void?
"Systematic research on the effects of wind direction on mental health is scarce.1 This is remarkable, as there are many local reports of notorious winds coming from a particular direction and referred to as ‘ill winds’ or ‘winds of depression’. For example, central European countries have Foehns, dry southerly winds blowing over the Alps and associated with ‘Föhnkrankheit’ and increased suicide. Similarly, psychological distress has been reported to be related to winds like Santa Ana (California), Hamsin (Middle East), Mistral (southern France) and Sirocco (Italy). Another hiatus of research on weather influences on mental health is that most studies have been done in the context of seasonal affective disorder,2 3 focusing on depression and leaving other mood states, such as anxiety, unaddressed. Moreover, this research has mainly centred on seasonal weather influences (eg, seasonal differences in sunlight and temperature). Seasonal weather influences, however, are not the same as day-to-day influences."

You're normal - others may not be. Don't change, don't overspend either :-). Wind coming soon, foil ASAP!
Married to one. Not sure there is a proper DSM term, however.
I described what you are talking about many years ago, The Silly Season.

Now is the time where you wonder why you can't seem to have seen an 11m HGO or hyperglide and why they stopped making the 1000 foil
I read through the DSM IV 3 times, and could not find an answer!!
Good news/ bad news
