My hair keeps getting in my eyes. I think I should get a haircut soon. It actually helps to stay warm though to have it this long, went outside for a walk without a toque today.

Well, nobody got it right.

The answer was Anthony Hopkins in Legends of the Fall. After his stroke, there was some shit going down and he hobbled out of his barn with a shotgun and mumbled, "What's going on here?"

I kinda miss BK, we had it then it got shut down by the health unit lol. That same building has a Harvey's now though, so that's even better. We had a Harvey's way back in the day at another location and the owner decided to close it to retire so we went without it for quite a while.

So... figured I'd share this. Couple weeks back I started to hit a depression. It hit hard and suddenly. But my lazyness and lack of motivation to do anything for the past few years was probably a sign that lead to it. The peak day I was almost suicidal. I knew that was not the answer and did not want to actually do it, but the thoughts came to my head, that it's the only way to get out of the hole. It's a dark scary place to be. Even if everything in your life is good none of that matters when you're in that state. I decided I had to talk to someone so called my parents. We figured it was probably Seasonal Affective Disorder. Started to try to get more sun and more daylight, also asked to be put on mostly days instead of nights. Working lot of night shifts probably finally caught up with me. I saw a doctor and have an appointment with a counselor. It started to get better, but then a week later I got a relapse. I was originally going to try not to take any meds, but with the relapse I decided to take them. Feeling much better now, been a few days, and been going to work as normal. I'm on day shifts now. Going to finish the meds then slowly taper off when I start to run out, and hope for the best. I have enough for 2 months, so the weather should start to get decent by then too.

Ordered a SAD light off Amazon, and overall need to make some life style changes, mostly try to work less night shifts, and go outside more even in winter when it's super cold. There's two types of light that the body needs, full spectrum blue/white light from the sun or artificially created, which your eyes absorb and it helps stimulate you, and then UVB which is absorbed by the skin to produce vitamin D. As a ginger I actually can do that efficiently. Problem is, we don't get UVB here for most of the year because the angle of the sun. So vitamin D supplements are a must. Need like 3,000 IUs per day. I was only taking like 1,000 and not even every day. Did a lot of research and learned a lot about this so I can make sure I don't fall into this rut again.

But yeah, what a rollercoaster this has been. I just hope I'll be ok once I get off the meds. I'm managing on 5mg right now, so it's a fairly small dose.
