I don’t like June

June is NOT my power month. I am trying to work out why. Every June when the days are at their longest and the light quality is good I feel slightly disappointed because I really can’t get on board with June. Work is always crazy busy, people seem stressed and slightly manic and I have two family birthdays to manage so finances are crap.

I don’t like that it gets light at 3.30am. I don’t sleep well in June. I feel slightly on edge all throughout. The kids, for some inexplicable reason always come down with nasty coughs and colds at the beginning of June which then rumble on for the rest of
the month. To be honest, I’m not particularly keen on July either. January and February are just to be survived. Nothing enjoyable happens then.

I love October. Love this month because of the autumn fun and the Halloween things. It’s also a beautiful month for walking, such lovely colours everywhere. There’s a buzz of anticipation in the air.

What month or months do you not like and why? What months are your power months, when you feel energised?

I do find I sleep less when it's light more of the time and it makes me more irritable than usual. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy the days or the weather though.

I am exactly the same as you OP. I could've written your post. Feel like I have to endure June and July whilst feeling sub optimal and low energy throughout. Really wish I wasn't this way but there you are.

It's upsetting because I know I should be feeling pure joy and wonder at the weather. Instead I feel drained and low throughout.

I'm actually the complete opposite, June is my happy month. I absolutely adore the light nights. I hate October, that and January are the worst months of the year imo.

June and December are the 'fun at school' months here which means remembering things every day, non uniform days, £1 for a fun day, school trip wear PE kit, collect at 1.15pm today etc. I do quite like the last 2 weeks of August when you can start to feel the change in the season but the wasps are offputting.
