What mental illness do I have?!
Question: What mental illness do I have!?
I had to drop out of college and be unemployed because of the following habit!.
Late spring(May) and summer all the way through fall I'm fine and motivated!. But when it hits October and it starts to get dark out earlier clear to April, I sleep 12 hours straight, I don't want to do my work not even bible study, I don't even want to do the things I enjoy the most!. Even my favorite classes!.
So I end up skipping classes and not doing homework!. Same thing with a bible study group!. I stop doing the work and stop going!.
Same thing with work!.
Even during these dark months I don't even take a shower more than once a week!. But from May through September I take everyday showers!.
What do I have!? I doubt a "sun" light will magically want me to do things!.
How do I get out of this nasty habit!?

A psychological condition is not a habit!. Your mind and body are reacting in an undesirable way!. A psychologist will likely diagnose you with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), as others have mentioned!.
One standard treatment is to get a SAD light, which is a full spectrum light box!. They can be costly, but are worth it in cases like yours that have a severe impact on your life!.
Be sure that during fall and winter that you are getting lots of exercise and have a good friend or two to support and encourage you!.
Please visit a mental health clinic or your doctor for an evaluation!. Best wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
