Sometimes I get very mildly annoyed by how people talk about SAD like it's near universal and never acknowledge or even know about reverse SAD but honestly, the existence of RSAD is weird and I say that as someone who experiences it. Like - "I am a being that biologically requires sunlight to function healthily and regulate myself so when I don't get enough I become depressed" - ok, logical, checks out. "I am a being that biologically requires sunlight to function healthily and regulate myself, but nonetheless I am happiest with barely any and get depressed when there is too much of it" - what the fuck.

#Inspired by seeing a post where someone was surprised to learn RSAD exists #(SAD and RSAD as in (reverse) seasonal affective disorder)#To be clear: the second is me. I do not say 'what the fuck' disbelievingly #I say it in the sense of 'honestly i understand why so few people know about or relate to this bc it makes very little sense'
