Take Vitamin D, they say.
Get a SAD lamp, they say.
Sit by the window.
But it is just so damp, and grey…
I have a craving. And it’s a craving that I want to understand better.
Living in Britain, and experiencing a really wet winter through spring, I am craving the feeling of the sunshine on my skin.
I do not mean this metaphorically.
This is a literal feeling.
I want to feel what the sun feels like.
I want it to feel hot and twinkly on my skin.
And I’ve had this craving for a few weeks, now. I’ve been pregnant twice, and I experienced strong cravings then (one was popping candy, the other was iced drinks).
I am not pregnant now, but I have this strong craving that I can’t shift or ignore.
What does this mean? Why is it happening?
I have, as it happens, been and bought some vitamin D tablets – just to boost things. I have also sat at my patio door when there’s been a slither of sunshine…. But it’s too cold out that I’ve kept the door closed. And what I really want is the feeling.
That feeling you get of such warmth when the sun kisses your skin.
