I've had a thread on here before about this and found it really useful as there's no one in real life who doesn't look at me in horror if I even mention this.
You know how people have SAD when the nights draw in , I have it the other way round. This morning, the birdsong by me set me off. Its like a sense of dread. I think it's to do with change. I don't cope well with change generally, I have anxiety made worse by peri menopause so I think moving from something you know well and feel happy with (the dark nights) into something new makes me feel a bit unsettled . Are you the same? Want to chat about it?

That's a new one.

Yep that's why I'm talking on here about it. No one in my real life gets it but I know it exists!

I feel the same except mine is because spring is still such a long way off 😭. I hate January and February with a passion. I've been depressed recently and I think at least a factor in that is definitely SAD. I remember feeling similar on at least 2 previous years at the same time.

Yes when people say they dread the dark nights coming , that's how I feel but about the spring

I get you OP but then I'm depressed. Spring and Summer make me feel guilty that I'm supposed to be out there doing stuff and usually I'm still inside, I hate feeling like I'm wasting the days. But certainly had enough of Winter at this point too! You can't win with me, I don't really like any season 😒😂

For me, it's definitely the change over

Nope not weird. A genuine poster..been on here years. My post is written and expressed honestly and well. Nice that you are so hostile to people straight away. There's no need for it at all. This is meant to be a supportive place
