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.

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.

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.

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.

"During" is OK, but I would say "Over the last ..."

As I was becoming more and concerned about such an abnormally long-lasting/persistent state of my mind, the problem faded away the very instant some sunshine appeared.
It sounds slightly unnatural to describe a "state of mind" as "long". I would say "long-lasting".
Of course, that's what it was all about!

This is very clearly and naturally written.
