S.A.D

In a dispirited mood while working, I went on a random search on the internet to see what's wrong with myself. I came across the S.A.D (Seasonal Affected Disorder) and the symptoms are as follow:

Sleep problems - oversleeping but not refreshed, cannot get out of bed, needing a nap in the afternoon
Overeating - carbohydrate craving leading to weight gain
Depression, despair, misery, guilt, anxiety - normal tasks become frustratingly difficult
Family / social problems - avoiding company, irritability, loss of libido, loss of feeling
Lethargy - too tired to cope, everything an effort
Physical symptoms - often joint pain or stomach problems, lowered resistance to infection
Behavioural problems - especially in young people

I cant help feeling excited that I've got all the symptoms that has been mentioned. That concludes that I DO HAVE S.A.D! At least I have identified my problem! The next step is to cure it! And so I attempted my first Light Therapy session yesterday and it did miraculously helped! By my definition of Light Therapy is to take a walk downtown in the middle of the day. After the walk, I got back to studio and was highly productive! I managed to come up with my sections for my buildings by the end of the day.
After that, I am more convinced that I ought to take a break in the middle of the day to go for my "Light Therapy" everyday! Well, the website was saying that we need about 4 hours of Intense Light Therapy every day!

The Light Therapy continued today. Unfortunately, the therapy had gone wrong or something, it somehow did not have much effect and I just wasted my day away again!
