Alex- You don't mention where you're living, but I recently found out that my Vit D levels are super low and I've been suffering with some pretty signifigant depression (plus some other assorted symptoms). I live in the pacific NW and so the sun is limited here which doesn't help. My doctor put me on a course of 50,000 IUI of Vitamin D, once per week for 8 weeks and 1,000IUI daily. I'm trying to get outside in whatever sun might filter through the clouds for 10 to 20 mins per day. Not sure how that would work for you since apparently it's cold where you are. Only in the 40's to 50's in the winter here.
I've been feeling much better in the last couple weeks.
It might be worth a trip to an MD for a blood test to check your levels.
Best wishes for some answers and help.
