What time of the year do you find most difficult?

[OliveCrab]

Christmas is always a stress.

This time of year. This exact time. Summer is gone. The days are getting shorter. It's dark, it's colder, it's wet. The bright lights of Christmas aren't even here yet to cheer us up. Plus something awful happened to me at this time of year, and as weird as it sounds, those feelings come back very easily when the weather reminds me.

I know January is darker and colder, but at least the days are getting longer again by that point, and the hope for summer and spring keeps me going.

Me too for all the reasons you've listed!
