We’re fortunate not to be in an area affected by overly serious flooding, but we’re now on our 9th day of non-stop torrential rain and howling winds. I actually had to put in earplugs during the day yesterday because I couldn’t stand listening to the wind anymore. There’s no point going outside apart from when we walk the dog, driving isn’t fun, and we’ve now got a leak. Doesn’t help that it’s an old house with single glazing and we’re trying not to have the heating on constantly.
SAD has always been an issue for me but this takes it to a new level. I’ve just given up and climbed back into bed - I have a headache for seemingly no reason, and no energy or motivation to do anything, even though there’s plenty of work I should be getting on with (both work work and things around the house). I was quite enjoying cooking and taking long baths for a while but now losing the will to do that too.
I should probably mention that I’m originally from a relatively warm and dry country and only recently moved out to the countryside, so maybe I’m being too sensitive. Of course there is also bad weather in cities, but I swear it wasn’t this bad, or at least there were more distractions! Even my English DH who grew up here and is usually a rain lover is struggling!
Any tips on lifting my spirits and getting back on track welcome!
