S.A.D.
December 11, 2008I have S.A.D. It’s not an emotion. It’s not a disease. It’s Seasonal Affective Disorder. It’s a state of the body due to the weather. Today is mostly cloudy, the sun hardly visible. It affects one’s mood. In other words, parang depressed na hindi. Walang dahilan, literally dahil lang sa kundisyon ng panahon. I’m working in a brightly lit space. I’m listening to Christmas songs. I’m not even doing what I’m supposed to do, which is work. Yet, I am experiencing the blues. It really is sad. I am temporarily afflicted with S.A.D. As the acronym suggests, this type of disorder affects us seasonally. O di ba, literal talaga! Thank God. It’s not me, I have the weather to blame for this crappy mood.
