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.
Yeah, my first step, as it should always be, is going to be to make an appointment with my doctor and get their expert opinion. Beyond that, yeah, I'd lean towards a UV lamp and then supplements.
I'm mostly just baffled that it's taken me this long to make the connection between the two. Felt a little silly for a moment there. Heh. : )>
