I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but somehow, over time, I have developed an aversion to the sun. It started a few years ago, when my eyes felt more sensitive, and I couldn't find glasses dark enough. Now that spring has come, the first day some sunlight came through the shades, I felt instant anxiety coming on. My face was burning hot, like I would imagine a sunburn would feel (never had one), my eyes hurt, I felt like tearing my shirts off, and did, and I was wanting to go and hide somewhere dark. Either that or cover the windows with trash bags, which my spouse would never allow.
Months and months ago, I was actually feeling depressed, and my Dr suggested as a last resort kind of thing to try one of those SAD lamps. I tried it several times and it burned me like the sun, and made me manic. I passed it on to my spouse who always claims that it's too dark in here.
I also have crippling anxiety that keeps me inside 98& of the time. I can't go outside alone at any other time but the morning when it is dark.
Anybody have the opposite of SAD? Or does it sound like something else?
