Feeling absolutely shit. Have been out once, for about an hour tops, in the last 4 days. That works out about 1% of the time. Have no desire to go out, only go when I need to buy food, pay bills or go to library. Have a ticket for a movie tomorrow night, The White Stripes live. That should at least drag me out. Haven't seen my parents in over a fortnight.
Sleeping from about 9am till 5pm. Not seeing any daylight. My SAD has already kicked in, but worse than usual. Going to Holland next week, hoping to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. Will hopefully get out of my routine, adjust to other peoples body clocks and have a good time.
I'm having periods of feeling manic, too aware and awake, constantly wanting to book flights, buy hifi and guitars, phone people to tell them whatever inane crap has came into my head, etc. Then I'm completely crashing and burning, no desire to see people or even listen to music, no desire to leave the house, just rocking back and forward in front of the computer, playing the XBox, muttering to myself, wanting to smash the windows. Not getting dressed for days or going for a shave and shower.
I'm not on any medication and haven't been to a GAMH meeting for weeks.
Is too much salt in my diet to blame for this ?
