NEW 2026/27 SAD thread

[Idstillratherbepaddleboarding]

Sorry guys, I had to have EVERY SINGLE post I’ve made on MN deleted because some weirdo stalker freak stalked through years of my posts and sent screenshots to my husband 😡😡.

I wasn’t going to come on MN anymore but I need the support of you guys and the dog thread I’m on so I’m gonna stick to them and stalker freak is free to read whatever they want 👋👋.

anyway, as we were, this weather is dreadful 😭😭.

Wow! Sorry that happened to you. Was it someone you knew in real life?

Yeah for sure, my husband won’t tell me who 😡 but I’m 99% certain I know who it was!

Oh my word @Idstillratherbepaddleboarding that's dreadful! I hope you're okay.

I just came on to have a whinge about the weather, the clocks changing tomorrow, all of it actually. I bloody detest it and it seems to get worse for me every year.

I wanted to mow the lawn one more time but the torrential rain means that's unlikely now!

Flipping heck! @Idstillratherbepaddleboarding That's awful!

Anyway thank you for the new thread, we're all going to need each other I'm sure. As always, entirely predictable, my mood is spiralling downwards already. Not helped by the constant warnings online and by the Government that we all neeed to prepare for the worst - whatever that is!

Gosh that's awful and scary that someone would do that! Hope you're ok.

I had wondered why I hadn't seen the thread for a while. The weather today is so depressing it actually made me cry.

Thanks everyone, it just kind of feels like someone’s been digging through years of my thoughts. It feels very uncomfortable but MN were fab about deleting all my posts quickly!

It sounds bloody awful out there tonight and it hasn’t stopped raining all day 😭.

It was such a relief to wake up and see the sun this morning.

We have sunshine but a howling wind at the same time! But it’s not raining so hallelujah!

I’ve just been out for a very bracing walk with the dog. I quite enjoyed it actually as the rain has stopped and it was sunny, just very windy.

It’s 5pm and it’s dark! Thats all I have to say 😭😭.

Yep just got in from the dog walk and I was wishing I’d taken a torch by the end of it!
Can definitely feel my anxiety and negative thoughts starting to take over, what I’ve realised is that my resilience just seems to disappear when summer ends.

Yes it's depressing. My mood plummets as soon as the light goes. Everything is harder to cope with.

Hope husband is an ex now??

@Idstillratherbepaddleboarding how awful!

I'm glad that the thread is back. I panicked when it had disappeared; I really need you all. We've had horrible weather and a couple of days I've broken my promises to myself and not left the house. And the clock change threw me. 😫 all so bloody dark

Yeah the clocks going back is definitely a massive trigger 😭. Although seeing my dog enjoying autumn so much is cheering me up a bit, he’s definitely an autumn dog 🥰.

Does anyone else start to feel depressed literally as soon as the sun goes down? I can feel reasonably okay during the dau but often as soon as the sun sets I feel horribly depressed. Evenings are always the worst time of day for me no matter what time of year it is, but especially in the winter with the shorter days.

@Idontknowhatnametochoose yes the dark evenings are too long 🙁

I'm wondering if having my sad lamp out for a bit in the evenings might make a difference instead of in the mornings, or having it both times. I don't know.

@Idontknowhatnametochoose yes. I've just got back from work in the dark and it makes me want to cry. It's energy and joy sapping so I'll be going to bed vvv soon.

I feel it a bit less I'm the summer because if it's warm outside, I'm sort of ok but do find any darkness to be a slight downer.

Sunny thoughts to you all.
