Anyone else dread the clocks going back

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

I hate it.
I loathe the long dark evenings. As the mornings get darker it means I go to and from work in the dark and no natural light in my workplace.
By February my energy levels and mood will have gone to shit
The nearer I get to menopause the worse it seems to get
Apols for the pity party
Anyone else join me on the
"No it isn't cosy it's fucking miserable " bench

I come from the north of Scotland. We went to school in the dark and came home in the dark in the middle of winter.

Delatron lots of people do exactly that on the I hate summer threads. Some people just can't seem to get their heads round the fact that not everyone likes the same things.

It is the lack of light over several months that has a huge impact on people's mood and energy If it was just about being warm enough I'd put on another jumper

I hear you Hob. I started the other thread and know exactly where you're coming from. It's not about sunshine, or heat, or cold. It's about DAYLIGHT or the lack of it. Even the brightest, sunniest winter day is dark by 4pm.

The lack of daylight has a real effect on people. This isn't a preference for the summer and warm. It's the fact that for some of us, the slide into darkness from now until the solstice is so depressing that it requires positive steps to address mental health and keep us on an even keel.

It's NOT about likes and dislikes.

Excellent post Otra

I quite like it as before they went back it was dark when I got to work and dark when I left.

At least today it was light when I went to work , although that won't last for long .
