The impulsivity is bad, wasted so much money and time. The hyperfocus, when on the wrong task, has cost me hours in that day. The poor planning / time management has landed me in a world of hurt more times than I care to admit. The low tolerance for distractions / hot temper has caused me to hurt those whom I love most in this world. The inability to properly direct my focus on a task has caused me to lose sight of, and therefore miss, deadlines.
That’s all bad.
But the worst part for me? The part that doctors don’t seem to even attempt to address (except for direct symptom management, which barely work)? Emotional mirroring. If you’re depressed and I’m with you, guess what happens to me? Today sucked. Depression is an unrelenting bitch, and I hate her with every fiber of my being.
Bundle that with vitamin D levels getting wonky during the winter for a long of people; and you’ve got one hell of a shitty emotional rollercoaster.
For those curious vitamin D is really important for emotions, it gets low and the shit hits the fan real quick. Especially for those of us who already have issues with emotional regulation.
Make sure your vitamin D levels are where they should be folks, it has a massive impact on your mental health
Yup. Also outside of winter as well if you don’t spend much time outside or if you’re someone who doesn’t produce enough from sun exposure. When I’m depressed, it’s usually because I haven’t taken D recently. D3 with vitamin K works best for me.
