I've watched best bud go through this every fall/winter for the past ten+ years. Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Here's a shortlist:
- Exercise (and sunlight if you can get it)
I'm 250lbs. Running would hurt my feet. I bike when I can, but the snow can get deep.
- Vitamins
3 grams C, niacin, assorted others stuff.
- Cut yourself some slack and don't over-analyze things
Good luck Lee. You'll get through it. And do have the testosterone checked. Best Bud and I joke around all the time that her hubby's going through MENopause, but there is a hormone fluctuation for men as they age too.
No medical insurance. Health care is catch as catch can, whatever can be afforded. I am fortunate to have good genes.
It may help this year, that I have cut my caffeine and coffee to almost nothing. I think it was making me stupid.
