Summer depression

Bit more of a rant post but I just wanted to voice my feelings of summer. 

I struggle with all the high temperatures, if I open the windows I end up with bugs and insects in my place (can’t even get rid of wasps and so scared of them), I also end up hearing people screaming and shouting, loud car engines and people honking their horns just for the sake of it and it also stinks of smoke which makes me feel unwell! If I have my windows closed I’m slowly being cooked alive but even with the window open there isn’t any breeze, even if a night. I can never sleep or get comfortable either and if I do get to sleep I wake up multiple times in the night. When going out I feel I have to cover up because I’m an eyesore compared to everyone else and people seem to be so rude and arrogant. Plus everyone seems to have nice high end cars and stuff compared to what me and my parents have. In fact I don’t even know how to drive so I don’t have a car. Having work and renovations isn’t helping either and not to mention how rude they have been to me and mistreated my place. Plus I feel we have been ripped off. I also can’t do any exercise due to the heat but I keep thinking what’s the point anyway as I’m not worth it. 

I'm meant to be going on holiday next month but I’ll be honest I’m dreading the airports and flight! I’m also dreading what people will think of me when they see me. I never used to be like this but since my bullying and harassment at the workplace I can’t help but think I’m a poor thrump. He’s been very manipulative this bully and I am triggered all the time but I seem to struggle more in summer which leads to meltdowns and depression! I’m also crying when I see myself in any sort of reflection because of how awful I look. 

Does anyone relate to what I’m saying?

  • See I hate the summer but what I do is get my self out wirh a bit of music on or make my own music and have cold drinks

    So at the moment it’s a lot of Taylor swift and monster energy and water 

  • Ahh good old Taylor swift! For music I’m actually more into gaming background music, find the animal crossing music super chill but so are some of the Mario kart world free roam tunes, also quite like lofi too. As for singers I can’t really say I’m into any right now. Everyone these days just seem to be these so called reality stars or tik tokkers or whatever and I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I’m Gen z and I don’t understand what all that is about. 

  • Ok so here’s my fave video game music for you 

    Mario Kart Wii all of it

    all rhe new super Mario bros music

    final fantasy 7 those who fight

    the Minecraft music

    the music in unpacking

    Still alive and want you gone from portal

    the non quake music

    someof this will be hard to listen to for a hit now though as it was shared hobby with my partner and I know I ended things becuse it’s best for me but it still hurts we did have some amazing times in that 15 years but when things need to end I guess you have to try no let the good times cloud yoir mind 

  • Yeah I have my guitar and now I have my Tay Tay 13 temp tattoos(since you can’t get real hand tattoos unless the place is comfortable doing it like they know you etc) becuase I need it to cover up some scaring on my hand from biting during meltodwns 

  • Hmm this all sounds really hard for you at the moment. Well at least you have e your music to help you and maybe you can play some Mario kart or something if you feel up to it! You do need someone who respect you for being you and being told to shut up can be really demeaning and NTs just expect us to “shake it off”. It’s like they are trying to tell you to not be you and that’s horrible! I hope your music and rehousing goes smoothly for you! I can’t imagine that being an easy process! 

  • Oh and also the worst is until I get rehoused we have to live together snd sinc ewe NEED to stay friends becuase I won’t let my kids see parents who can’t be friends snd remember the good times I need to be moved so we can both get on with life
