Maybe there is? for guys anyway. Men's mood cycle tend to go in 3-month intervals, according to at least a couple of studies (http://holyhormones.com/natural-cycles/hormone-cycles-in-men/) and if your birthday is in November or October (or April/May) that may well sync up with your birthday pretty exactly.
For me, the only way to drag myself out of a truly major depression (like the one that hit me like a collapsing building right after my wife left) was the gym. I could put on my headphones, sweat and strain and curse and pant and at the end of it all, stagger into the steam room and feel pure and young again when I got out of the shower, if only for an hour. Then of course, I had to go back to work, but for that hour I felt better, and rediscovering my waist made me feel better too.
I guess my most comforting thought for today is: like all things under heaven and earth, this too shall pass.
