I didn't use the SAD lamp yesterdayand already my mood feels down.
Though without using the SAD lamp, I slept until 4:15 this morning instead of waking up at 1 or 2 AM for the day.
I did my usual this morning. Went for a power walk, 6 mi, a bit of a challenge because it was foggy and there was a light rain as well the whole time, meaning the roads were slick. Showered, then I had curbside pickup for my groceries this week. Put everything away, refilled meds for the week, used the SAD lamp while reading. I'm having strong urges to skip my meds just to see what happens, though I know that would be very bad for me. The rest of today is pretty boring - laundry, meals, reading,maybe doing my coloring app on my iPad. I need to find a new hobby. I wish I could get into writing or sketching again. I used to be good at both, and somehow I think if I try again, the talent just won't be there any more.
