I think the winter darkness may be affecting me

Since it started getting dark early I’ve not felt good, increased anxiety. I also recently cut down on coffee so that could also play into it.

But my mood is definitely worse.

I tried daylight glasses and they worked for a couple of days.

Still using them but not noticing any big impact anymore.

Yeah, night at 3:00 pm doesn’t sound like a plan to me.

I use a mood light box. It helps me. My doctor prescribed it to me. :cat::cat::cat:

Vitamin D is essential for mood in the dark months. I take 5000IU daily.

I take 2 capsules of omega 3 you buy in the grocery store. Not möllers but the other one. It’s vitamin D in it but not sure how much.

There’s not enough to make a impact on mood in the fish oil. I recommend trying supplementing minimum 50mcg(2000IU).

This is equivalent to about 20-30 minutes in the sun with 22% of skin uncovered.
