I’m sick of the weather, the dark nights, boring boring work, stuck at home, miserable absent teenagers, list goes on and on!

i want to lose weight but can’t stop comfort eating!

Just ate a Magnum and feel the same. Nearly February!

Normally I like the winter, the cold and dark evenings and see January as a fresh start but this year I’m hating it.

Yes, and sick of constant colds and sickness. Just spent another weekend stuck in not seeing anyone as DD had horrible fever, last weekend DS had a sickness bug and weekend before that DD had it. I'm also getting everything and I'm so fed up of it!
Poor kids have done hardly anything this month and they're shattered from constant coughing/sickness!

Same. Feels like it’s been either stormy or everyone’s been sick. I hate being stuck indoors. Cycled to work in the rain with a gale blowing in my face this morning.

I think everyone ends up feeling a bit depressed at this point in the year.

The weather, the cold, the rain, the lack of sunshine, nothing to look forward too, that the darkness hasn’t gone away, no money etc.

It’s only temporary…!

February is in sight!

February is in sight!

And that's supposed to cheer me up!!! 😂

Jfw82 · 27/01/2025 21:14

Fed up of it being dark. Fed up of it being cold. Never know what coat hat scarf umbrella is needed ....
bored of everything I've been cooking for months, no inspiration to make anything different...

Regularly reviewing the time and date weather page to take home in the days getting longer !

It will pass! What about a winter hobby? Sometimes we snack due to boredom. Maybe learn a new skill or pick up something you've not done for a while.

PassingStranger · 27/01/2025 21:18

Looking forward to Spring
.I could permanently live in Spring and Summer.

PandoraSox · 27/01/2025 21:21

There are little buds and bulbs beginning to show themselves. It'll be Spring soon.

January is a hard month.

Asvoria · 27/01/2025 22:25

It's my birthday tomorrow and I know nobody will even acknowledge it.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/01/2025 22:32

@Asvoria Happy Birthday for tomorrow 🎂🥳

HelpMeGetThrough · 27/01/2025 22:40

Yep, totally fed up.

Taking ages to recover from major surgery I had in November. Fed up with still feeling like shit and hurting and my stomach looking like an angry tube map.

I'll spend the spring and summer repairing everything that Storms Dickhead 1, 2, 3 ... 100 has broken during January!!

First up, build a new fence. Silver linings and all that!!

whippleproceedure · 28/01/2025 22:07

Completely understand the grimness but I've had one friend die suddenly this month and one have a life changing stroke so I'm just counting my blessings right now.
Spring is on its way

100% feel this!

Cant wait for the summer again! Light nights, warm sun on your skin and BBQ's! I feel like everyone is soo much happier when it's the summer season. I used to be a winter lover but as I've got older I don't like it anymore. It is depressing!

I'm the same now I'm a bit older I now struggle with winter when I used to love it.

Yep, totally fed up.
Should have moved house before Christmas, STILL waiting for a land registry report.
Living out of boxes, cold dull dingy weather, fat from Christmas excesses, drinking too much and generally just fed up!
