Anyone else not enjoy the season change to Spring?

I used to feel the same, but then I moved in with DH who does not like the heating on. I felt so happy today to be able to sit in a patch of sunshine, like a cat.

I love Spring - a time of renewal and rebirth.🥂

I felt elated tonight when I left work and saw the sky was blue, heard the birds singing, saw the snowdrops out and daffodils pushing up. I felt lighter.

Also south west, would you say it's the second half of September? I have noticed this too (hoping we have the same day now! ☺️)

Nope. I get SAD during January, February and middle if March. As soon as that spring weather and lighter nights peek round the corner I feel so much better

I have written a post like this before. I totally understand where you're coming from and the feeling you're experiencing.
For me, I think it's something to do with how I think, and how I seem to feel very different mentally at different points in the year. I seem to struggle at every change in season, although less so spring to summer and autumn to winter, but more do winter to spring and summer to autumn.
I feel like I need to adjust my thinking to the new season, and then I am okay, but it can take me 2/3 weeks each time. I guess it can do with being quite a sensitive person, I know I am.
Also, on another note I think I dread summer because I have to see and hear my neighbours more which irritates me, but that's another story!

I LOVE coming into winter but this time of year really drags for me. It’s nice the days are getting longer but summer still feels like a million miles away! It’s not getting warmer and in fact February/March usually brings snow 🥲

Now with the Springtime
The days will grow longer
And after St Bride's Day
My sail I will raise. *
St Brigid's Day is next Saturday. Celtic spring ...but always feels too cold?

I feel the same. I do like the fact that it gets lighter. However i feel as though spring is just an extension of winter. Summer is either too hot or a wash out. I love the change to autumn.

I embrace all the seasons changing but sometimes struggle in the middle of winter, it drags on!

I'm another one who feels this, I find the turning of seasons brings out some complicated emotions for me. I knew it was spring about a week ago (live in the south west), which feels early this year. I'm not sure it's SAD exactly but I feel the season changes quite intensely. My favourite season change is Summer to Autumn, I can tell you the exact day it happens every year where I live, it's like someone flicks a switch.

So interesting there's a few of us who feel this way.

Yes this was me, felt like this until my early 40s. Had a sense of dread when spring approached, found it difficult to explain.

I'm 60 now and haven't felt like that for 10 years or more. Very strange.

I’ve never come across this before - I love it, thank you for sharing 🩷

Yes I totally agree with this - reminds me of this Larkin poem:

The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.

Is it that they are born again
And we grow old? No, they die too.
Their yearly trick of looking new
Is written down in rings of grain.

Yet still the unresting castles thresh
In fullgrown thickness every May.
Last year is dead, they seem to say,
Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

I'm much like you too. Autumn is my favourite.

I really dislike spring. March and April are my most hated months. I get very miserable when the clocks go forward - I know most people love the longer daylight hours but I much prefer my evenings dark.

I feel a bit like this too. I love the spring and summer but the transition from winter to spring feels so drawn out. I'm noticing the signs of it on the way but it's still January and we probably won't have pleasant weather until May. At least the winter is reliably cold, damp and miserable!

Same

I really love seeing the signs of spring.

I’m not invalidating your point of view, as it’s how you feel, but I wonder why? It’s an unusual way to feel. Humans need light and warmth so it feels like the opposite of answering a biological need.

No, I enjoy spring coming. If anything, I find Feb and early March more difficult because I feel like it’s not happening quick enough!

The day the clocks change again is one of my favourites. Also love the changing of the seasons at other times - I get to wear different clothes and embrace whatever that season brings - Autumn walks, cosy winters, pub beer gardens in the summer etc

I have this too, and have only ever met one other person who felt the same way. I only feel this way with the transition from winter to spring, not at any other time of the year.

I think for me it's because I actually quite like hibernating and being cosy and the lighter days puts pressure on me to be more active and productive.

Splendid. I'm off now to go listen to the mermaids, who I do not think will sing to me.

(And I'm annoyed that I misspelled Prufrock, which is also a Prufrock moment!)

I know what you mean. I'm not a huge fan of Spring but I'm not really sure why.

I think it's because it's quite unpredictable weather so can often feel like you're waiting for Summer to arrive, which can then often be a washout.

At least with Autumn and Winter you know where you stand.

I'm looking forward to the lighter nights.

I grow old, I grow old.
I shall wear my crocs with socks.
