Anyone feeling really depressed about the weather?

I know i can't change it so it's pointless, but I honestly feel really low 😕 Where the hell has summer gone? It has rained all day here and been cold and miserable. A heatwave was originally forecast for the weekend but now it's been downgraded to 20 at best, albeit hopefully sunny. I hope it's not going to be like this for the entire summer until we get more of the same in autumn. I have SAD and need warm sun on me. I honestly want to cry.

Nope! I'm happy as a sandboy that I can sleep properly, go out without sweatproof factor 50 on, and generally not feel like an earthworm on a plancha grill. My garden is lush and green rather than wilting and scraggy. Farmers around my locality are happy as well.

I feel the opposite. I’m loving it

Tbf as long as it doesn’t rain even that will be helpful. I had to bring my puffer jacket out earlier and that was annoying.

I blame the government. Any government. All of the fuckers.

This is very early summer, we had a hot late spring heatwave. It was seriously odd and worrying to have 30C+ weather in May in the UK.

Exactly, it has been sun rain sun rain and a nice forecast ahead at more seasonally normal temperatures. Someone will always find something to moan about.

But it is depressing. We are 10 days away from the longest day and although I ditched my winter coat, I am still in the same clothes I have been wearing since October - cardigans, long sleeve tops, tights, “winter” skirts, trousers.
We had one glorious week to enjoy the outside and now back to never ending autumn.
I had the heating on today, according to the weather app it “felt like” 7 degrees outside. I hope it is the last of it as my cheap energy fix is coming to the end.
Hopefully we are not heading to a summer like we had in 2024 with early heatwave followed by months of misery.
Earlier this week, the forecast was for 24-26 over the weekend and the start of next week. Now it looks a lot cooler, but we will get some sunshine on Saturday.

I've been on antidepressants since I was 18.

I'm 50. I'm mentally and physically disabled but I'm not moaning about a bit of fucking rain.

I hope the truth doesn't spiral you in to a depression.

Twenty or twenty two, and dry, will do nicely. The rain was needed for crops and the garden is softer, but I'm glad it's going to improve on the last few days.

Yay. Here we go with the Top Trumps.

In the 1950s there was a Giles cartoon with some people gambolling around a Maypole in the rain and the caption was 'And in three weeks time the nights start drawing in.'

I’ve had this week as annual leave. Had plans for gardening, long catch up lunches with friends in the sunshine, a BBQ, but nope. It has rained every day and is actually windy and cold. So fed up.
