Autumn is the worst season

I hate autumn with a passion and can’t believe others don’t feel the same.

I don’t live in New England but the North West
of (actual) England. Every day for the past week I have been soaked - either at school drop or pick up, if not both. The leaves are soaked so slippy and I fucking hate it.

And no to ‘dressing for the weather’ - the damp air kicks of my asthma. At least winter is usually cold and sunny

I get some grim viruses every October - usually gastro bugs of some kind. That’s the only thing I don’t like. Everything else I love. Having the heating on. Making shepherds pies. Sitting under blankets. Having a nice bath. Looking at the beautiful leaves. Making soup

It's cold weather and central heating that kicks off my asthma, as well as chest colds/ any random virus, so I do get it!!

No need to be sorry - I am just sick of getting wet and not being able to breathe!

You're not unreasonable to feel as you do but I love autumn (sorry). The colours and light are stunning, I love foraging mushrooms and making apple chutney, and lighting the fire and celebrating the change of season. By February it's dreary and dark and Im over being all warm and cozy, but in October I love it!
