I know we've not had a lot of nice weather but I just feel completely drained. I've no energy at all , I just want to sleep. Anyone else the same

Reverse seasonal affective disorder makes summer difficult- especially the long days , bright evenings and mornings . It’s a very real thing

I feel so much better in summertime.
Love sitting in our garden and watching the plants change and grow every day.
I so appreciate the longer and days.
We have a parasol to retreat to when the sun gets too warm, which it was today and we enjoyed eating outside.
We have had beautiful weather here in the NW recently and we're enjoying every second of it.
It's a long old winter

Ditto your post Lumiere

Although I did a bit of light gardening this morning and it was far too humid, I had to give in and admire the garden instead 😀

This is about the most depressing thread I ve ever seen We get about a months worth of warm weather a year if we are lucky and people use such emotive language as ‘hate’ ‘worst nightmare’ ‘horrendous’
No wonder we are such a miserable country
I LOVE summer I feel alive, I love the warmth on my bones, I love the bright light nights I love the feeling of well being you get from the lightness the brightness and it lasts a few weeks then it’s gone for at least 10 months
Here in the east we have had no warm weather yet this season it’s still depressingly cold and I mean cold

Summer please come to us so we can smile again and I can go to my beautiful beach without a hat and scarf on

There are reasons why some people HATE it - I for one suffer from hyperhidrosis so when it's warm, I suffer and look horrific. I also take meds that affect me when it's sunny and hot. A friend of mine has Sarcoidosis, so cannot be in the sun.

However, it's not the sun I loathe, but the heat, I love cool sunny spring and autumn days, just not the summer ....

MadeInYorkshire I like to see the sun but being hot and sweaty is awful

I think I was probably intended to be a naturist. I find walking around with no clothes on in this hot weather very liberating.

If Im not expecting anyone I open the kitchen door and wear only socks and flipflops as I am now. I have a locked gate on my drive so no one is getting in that way unless they fancy scaling the fence. I can talk to any unexpected callers via the ring doorbell.

Unfortunately I have a Fedex pickup tomorrow so I will have to wear one of my kaftans. I dont want to scare the poor lad.

Why socks?

So this is the third night of poor sleep. Please tell me again how great summer is

Given that most of our weather is cold, grey, wet and windy the few days of sunshine we get is most welcome.
To eat outside is a rare treat as even during hot periods it’s mostly chilly once the sun goes in the evening. We have eaten lunch out twice so far this year. Dinner hardly ever. It’s been a long wait for summer.
We have only had 3 sunny days so far and I love it. If it’s too hot I sit on the shade to enjoy the garden. Any jobs are done early late in the day.
This time last week I was in winter clothes That awful NE wind would not stop and I didn’t think summer would ever begin.
It cheers most people up, gets them out and won’t last long, so I plan to enjoy these all too few sunny days.

It is going to be a roaster today
