mental health: taking sunshine pills
Nov. 6th, 2011 06:34 amA while back, I started taking vitamin K2 to help keep my bones and teeth strong. It comes packaged with 2000 units of D3. So, I ended up doubling my daily dose of D3 then.
Since that time, I haven't been depressed. I've had stressful days (and weeks, even) where I felt beat up at the end and needed an afternoon of goofing off to recover, but that's normal. The next day, I get up out of bed without the long, dreadful conversation with myself to get me going.
This struck me today because of DST. Here it is, November, and I'm not slowing down like I normally do. Maybe I'll have a dip around the Solstice, I suppose, but 2000 units a day seems to be enough to keep me mentally healthy.
I am so grateful.
