I think I am suffering from S.A.D.
In fact, I know I am.
You know as well as I do that the Internet is never wrong.
Symptoms [ripped off from the above link]
- a desire to oversleep and difficulty staying awake, but in some cases, disturbed sleep and early morning wakening; [in fact, I always want to oversleep! Do I get bonus points for that? Check.]
- feeling fatigue and an inability to carry out normal routine; [Yes! Yes my daily routine is getting increasingly difficult to carry out. I thought I was just taking on too much. It's like they have been in my head. Check.]
- a craving for carbohydrates and sweet foods, usually resulting in weight gain; [Pssst, always! And, seconds? Always. Surprise, surprise. Weight gain. Huh, who knew? Check.]
- feelings of misery, guilt and loss of self-esteem, sometimes hopelessness and despair, sometimes apathy and loss of feelings; [Yes, I mean with the above mentioned symptoms who wouldn't feel a little guilty? After all, eating an entire pan of brownies would make anyone feel guilty, no? Check.]
- an irritability and desire to avoid social contact;
[Again, when you eat too much, sleep too much and feel guilty about it who freaking wants to see anyone? Check.] - a tension and inability to tolerate stress; [Yes, I have been feeling a little edgy lately. Check.]
- a decreased interest in sex and physical contact [Jesus, quit pointing the finger. I mean I am overeating, over-sleeping, avoiding public and now you go and accuse me of not wanting to be intimate. WTH? CHECK!!!!]
- and in some sufferers, extremes of mood and
short periods of hypomania (overactivity) in spring and autumn. [So that explains the 5k stint back in the Fall and the burning desire to continue. Check.]
Diagnosis: A resident of Seattle.
Cure: July.
