This non-weather is making me feel...weird and flat?

I feel so odd atm – can’t get into anything at work, finding it difficult to get motivated to do stuff at the weekends, just waiting for each day to be over so I can get to the next one, just constantly feel like I’m waiting for…something? I’m convinced it’s the weather. I enjoy summer, but not the heat, and I much prefer this cooler weather to last year’s heatwaves, but I think it’s the lack of sunshine and having had ‘a summer’ that’s left me feeling really off kilter, everything just feels a bit weird, not totally unlike how it did during Covid. Logically I don’t mind that it hasn’t been hot and sunny, it hasn’t ruined anything for me, but it just feels like something is missing/wrong.

I look forward to autumn every year, particularly if the summer has been hot as I love the changing of the seasons, but right now I literally can’t wait for the dark nights and everything to feel proper autumnal - but just because it would be preferable to this grey-ish, warmi-ish nothingness, and then hopefully this strange untethered feeling will go away.

Is it just me?

Finally the weather seems to be improving here. But it's getting dark earlier and we've picked blackberries.

I feel exactly like this and you have articulated it so well. Feels like we missed a season and I'm off kilter now.
