I had a melanoma removed from my arm a while ago.

I display common symptoms of Depression.

I usually sleep during the day.

Today, it occurred to me that my symptoms might be of a vitamin D deficiency.

That would mean that when I get Sun, it tries to kill me and when I don't get Sun, it makes me want to kill myself.

I laughed at this for a good 3 minutes straight today.

@torq I went through this just recently.. I was getting severely depressed and couldnt figure out why.

Turns out it was a combination of B12 defiency and D defiency.

I realized it because i spent a day out in the sun and felt suprisingly better.. then when i went on supplements I was cured within a week and it never came back.. it was an issue for months.

Cant hurt to take a supplement and see. I highly recommend throwing in some B12 too just to make sure.

@freemo @torq

I have D supplements. Living out here in the threat Northwet doesn't provide much sunlight at the best of times. We don't tan, we rust.

I avoid taking lots of supplements as a general principle though. I hear that kind of thing is mostly good for making urine expensive. But I work indoors at a factory all day and my hobby is computer jockey, so "sunlight" is a problem. :(
