Seasonal Affective Disorder

Does anyone else have this very fucking crappy problem during winter time? Feeling depressed, avoiding social events, fatigue, lethargy...

Every winter I feel like shit and am pretty much suicidal thinking I'm going crazy. Now that spring is coming back slowly and the sun goes to sleep later I'm starting to feel better finally and am able to be more outgoing and such.

Anywho, this post is also to show the possibility of LSD being a very good cure for psychological problems. I felt like crap pretty much every day since November and in late December I had a good acid trip and felt normal, undepressed for the following month. In february I fell back down to my seasonal affective disorder. But now yayy, slowly getting better... It's the weirdest feeling to always feel hopeless, anxious, always thinking people are talking shit about you, too afraid to look at people or talk to people. So fuck you winter time, I'm moving to Mexico when I'm old. Fuck feeling depressed!

 

i dont have it myself but my sister does...i'll show her this.

i'm sure you've already researched ways in which to deal with it, so i guess i have no helpful input, but thanks for yours, my sister has actually been wanting LSD for awhile anyway.

she's also 18 btw

 

I guess some people in Alaska get it bad in the winter due to it being dark all the time.

This might be total BS but my buddy told me (I havent looked any further into it) that you absorb alot of vitamin c from the sun and when theres less sunlight you body doesnt get the vitamin c and it can cause feelings of depression.

 

I get it. Got it right now.

 

sucks doesn't it? Mine is slowly getting better though...

But about the Vitamin C I don't know... What I heard is that the sunlight plays a direct role in serotonin production and for some individuals, lack of sunlight affects the serotonin levels a lot more than others, creating feelings of sadness, fatigue, depression... (thus probably why LSD helped me since it creates serotonin and for me LSD is the psychedelic that has the longest after-glow effects)

There's also researchers saying lack of sun affects our biological clock and fucking up the psychological state of some people.

 

Although, the best treatment for SAD are those kind of special lamps that simulate the light of the sun, I'm going to try that next winter.

 

Talk to your doctor about it. You may be able to get a lexipro/generic equivalent prescribed and those really help me.

 

It does. I think you mean melatonin though. I also sleep through most of the day, so I don't always get as much sun as I need. That's probably part of my problem.

 

Yea, I'll most likely pay a visit to my doctor but I'll mostly aim towards the lamp treatment, I'm not really down for antidepressants, having heard lots of negative side-effects from them...

 

Yea, well melatonin is what contributes to the "biological clock"...

 

ugh i know exactly how you feel. i got that sadness right now..
it's cold and rainy/snowy and i don't feel like going anywhere, so i usually just sit in the house. i don't go out in the winter time barely at all. i always get sick in the winter too. all winter i'll either have a cold or the stomach flu, i have the stomach flu right now.


i can't wait until spring!

 

its vitamin d that you get from the sun, but personally i hate the sun, i hate tans, i hate the feeling of my skin boiling, oh and i hate skin cancer too

maybe im just a vampire (ive got a blood fetish as well)

 

i love the sun.
ive always just thought i was just being a miserable shit in the winter and thought the people telling me i had SAD were just trying to be nice or take the piss

 

Yeah you are MMC. I love the sun.
