Vitamin D
During the last couple of days I've been feeling myself quite low-spirited for no apparent reason. I tried socializing, going for a walk, and watching some movies. Such activities usually cheer me up. However, this time, their effect only lasted a few hours, and then I was feeling down again. As I was becoming more and concerned about such an abnormally long state of my mind, the problem faded away the very instant some sunshine appeared. Of course, that's what it was all about! I hadn't see sun for more than two weeks, and although I didn't consider myself prone to such circumstances, the weather conditions seem to influence my mood now. I am going to start a course of Vitamin D soon, so that I could compensate the lack of sunlight that Russian winters cause.

Remove myself for correct pronoun usage.
Add comma after “days” for smoother rhythm.
I tried socializing, going for a walk/taking walks, and watching some movies.
"taking walks" More natural phrasing.
As I was becoming more and more concerned about such an abnormunusually long state of my mind, the problem faded away the very instant some sunshine appeared.
"more and more concerned." More natural phrasing.
"unusually long state of mind." More natural phrasing.
Of course, that' was what it was all about!
Past tense consistency.
I hadn't seen the sun for more than two weeks, and although I didn't consider myself prone to such circumstances, the weather conditions seem to influence my mood now.
"hadn't seen" Correct past perfect form.
"the sun" we almost always use “the sun” when referring to sunlight.
I am going to start a course of Vitamin D soon, so that I couldan compensate for the lack of sunlight that Russian winters cause.
"can" because “Could” suggests possibility in the past.
"ompensate for the lack" because “compensate” requires the preposition “for.”

Corrections are mostly about verb tense consistency and natural phrasing. Good job, keep writing!
I haven't gone to any countries that have winters, but I often hear that it gets really depressing during the winter season. Most doctors would suggest taking Vitamin D, so you did a good job there.

Just some minor corrections to make your sentences sound more natural/native-like. But I'll just jump on here to comment that do you think that perhaps you might experience seasonal mood fluctuations? Like some people have seasonal depression or the like (if not to that extent) where they start feeling more blue when the days get shorter and sunlight weaker during the winters. Light certainly helps, you could even try getting a bright lamp to put at home if the sky is looking grey and dull.

As I'd written, I didn't think myself susceptible to such fluctuations earlier, but now I am thinking about getting a lamp like that!
Thank you for your help, cchen111!

During sounds a little odd here to me. Not incorrect just unnatural. When talking about periods of time like this I find "Over" to be more common

"State of mind" sounds better here. I'd only use "my" if I were to describe "THE state of my mind".
Of course, that's what it was all about!
I hadn't seen sun for more than two weeks, and although I didn't consider myself prone to such circumstances, the weather conditions seem to influence my mood now.
In day to day speech, I'd use "I hadn't seen THE sun", but it can be omitted also. Ommiting "the" here gives an almost story-book like sound to the writing, which you may or may not be going for.

The phrase has no pronoun: "state of mind." A long state of mind doesn't really make sense.
If you wanted to say this condition lasted a long time, you would have to word it differently.
You could use "a long period of low spirits" or, more casually, "being down/depressed for such a long time."
I would not use "the problem faded away" with "the very instant" because, to me, fading away takes more time than an instant. I would use "disappeared" which can occur slowly or quickly. If I wanted a super fast disappearance, I would use "vanished."
I hadn't seen the sun for more than two weeks, and although I didn't consider myself prone toinfluenced by/ impacted by/ affected by such circumstances, the weather conditions seem to influence my mood now.
Technically, you could probably find justification for omitting "the" before sun, but most native speakers say "the sun."
"prone to such circumstances" doesn't work well, possibly because circumstances exist in the world apart from us, but being prone to something is a tendency within us.

It seems imprecise to say the winter causes the lack to sunlight. The English way of expressing this is more like coexisting.
Feedback
Well done!
Not that you asked, but there is a phenomenon directly related to lack of sunlight in winter called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and the remedy is exposure to full spectrum light that mimics sunlight.
Jan. 19, 2026
Yeah, "the very hour some sunshine appeared" would probably work better here.
A pal of mine told me about SAD just two days ago. I should probably just buy brighter lamps.. It's already over, I guess 🤷♂️
As always, many thanks for your corrections and especially explanations!
Jan. 19, 2026
By the way, would substituting the word ''prone'' with ''susceptible'' be a good idea?
Jan. 19, 2026
I do. Nice!
Jan. 19, 2026
I mean, it would. I saw that you used it in your reply to another person. It definitely works.
BTW good job on adapting your posts to achieve your goal of receiving more corrections.

Haha, thanks, I tried ;)
