It really amazes me that my mood can change so drastically day by day. Yesterday, I was bouncing off the walls. I was happy, I felt free and good about life and all that. Today, I'm tired, I'm down, I'm apathetic and unfocused, I'm unmotivated. All signs of that wonderful depression I've got going on inside. How does it change so much from one day to the next? I guess I can answer that question on the surface of things: there was sun yesterday (at least at the start of the day) and today there is no sun and a bunch of gloomy drizzling rain. And SAD is directly affected by the amount of sunlight I get. Sure, but having said that, I don't really fully understand how that can change things so dramatically in 24 hours. I guess I would think that the effects of the recent sunlight would last a couple of days and gradually wear off...but perhaps that's not the case at all... (Maybe what really needs to happen is that I need to read up a bit more on the effects of sunlight on a person suffering from SAD.)
This post will have to end here because I'm so tired right now, I'm falling asleep as I type... this is ridiculous.
