    About Me

    sentimental and hardworking. complex but an open book.

    Interests

    art, knitting, the cinema. I'm a big daydreamer, love to lay around and be silly. love to share a meal with friends, love to travel. I usually love or hate things. Not much of in between although I am learning to be a bit more in between these days.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I suffer from light to clinical depression. I have been in therapy for 5 years. I have been this way for most of my adolescence and into my adult years. The condition worsens in the wintertime and is sometimes responsible for rash decision making in my past.

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I did not feel immediately results at first, but found myself looking forward to going back. Has saved many friendships, now that I don't unload my jargon on to them constantly.
      Phototherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I purchased "Full Spectrum" Light bulbs, specially made for those with S.A.D. You can purchase these online and certain health/lightbulb stores. It does make my room brighter and I do feel more relieved during the day. It could be totally phsycological but if it works... who cares?
