[Seasonal Affective Disorder] It's started...

[wispfox]

Oh, indeed, the crappy time of year stuff has begun.

I know because I was cranky all day and didn't _notice_ until a co-worker commented that I was certainly acting like it was Monday.

And, well, it _is_ Monday, but that doesn't usually have a huge affect on my actions.

Snappy, oh yes. Low energy, check. Tired all day? Yep.

Gonna start using my lamp after I post this. And start being less generally social and work on getting more regular touch. And stuff. And be more aware of my internal state, since I need to have a _much_ better awareness than normal.

(Note: started != constant, yet. I will continue to have ups and downs, and probably will continue to forget that I have them during the up periods, because I forget every year, until Jan and Feb. Then, I'll have mostly downs but will _accept_ that fact. And then the ups and downs will reverse from mid March until May, when I should be mostly normal again)

*sigh*

Now I go sit in front of my light and read. And try to sleep earlier than I had been all weekend, since I can't imagine that was helping.
