Mild Seasonal Depression

Jan 25, 2006 14:43

My first, recognizable one, in fact. All the other times in my life when I've been "depressed", there were good reasons, (sometimes as lame as pms, sometimes more solid.) Not that I was never clinically depressed, but the only way (without chemical tests,) to be really really sure a depression is clinical is for there to be no real explanation. ( Read more... )

Its probably SAD. I've noticed that i'm kinda immobile lately too, and it seems to be going around, going by the rest of my friendslist.

Pantothenic Acid & other lovely b-vitamins are always my favorite. I'm afraid I don't know offhand what vitamins your body produces as a result of exposure to sunlight, but hey, that's what google is for.

Well, there's A & D, that you get from milk, but milk gets it from sunlight, and C too, of course, which is pretty much sunshine in a pill...
I took a fat multi and some alpha-lipoics to help with the grog and ache. We'll see if that helps at all.

I have to agree about the B vitamins. They should help some. I know they do me, this time of year. You know my depression is clinical...and this time of year just sucks with all the SAD added in. Luckily, with my job, I can actually see the sunshine, so it's not as bad.

*hugs* Love you hon, and I hope it gets better.
