Sunshine...on my shoulders...
Dec. 17th, 2002 06:48 amYesterday at work I was sitting in my little corner of the copy room (I can't even say cubicle, it's so tiny) when the sun came out and poured in through the windows.
The sensation was not unlike when you have a cramped muscle and someone is rubbing it out and it hurts so good! Like a shock of warmth through my system. I literally could feel myself feeling better.
After 19 years in Alaska, I move to Ohio and get Seasonal Affective Disorder???
I suspect that the combination of stress and exhaustion made the added frisson of darkness just too much for me to bear--like the cold you can resist unless you are worn out.
Having something to hang it on makes it considerably better, so when I got blue last night I at least wasn't quite as viscious in my self-loathing.
After today, the school stress ends for a month. By the time it starts again the light will be returning.
Thank you, all my friends, who expressed concern and support for me when my nose was hitting the pavement. I think the worst is past.
