Oct 2012

seasonal depression going on here, along with a bit of depression from other causes.

Anyway, I take vitamin D3 and it helps with the seasonal depression, and I try to find worthwhile and interesting things to do or look forward to. Crafts, things like that. Also, I enjoy reading and look forward to my daily reading time.

I tend to get stuck in feeling depressed over my daily routine, yet when that routine is disrupted, I get anxious. Just can't win.

Depression sucks.
