Does anyone else suffer from winter depression?

I didn't realize I was until I was talking about it with a friend today. I just know that lately I've felt edgy and dissatisfied with everything. Sitting here with the wind howling outside I don't even want leave my apartment

It's interesting your name is sundazzled, because the cure is Vit D from the sun or Vit D3 sups

@faery do supplements actually make a difference for this?

@sundazzled Absolutely. I suffered for years every winter and then I visited a doc for something unrelated and she ran a blood panel on me that showed I was just a couple points lower than low-normal (18) and suggested I take 2, 000 IU every morning with breakfast. It was actually shocking how quickly it lifted my mood and I've never had SAD again. I've taken it ever since and these days my level stays around 52, which is a very good level.
