The Weather

Is anyone else finding the weather depressing at the moment? I am trying hard to walk each day to help my mental health, even in the rain, although not always so good. It has now got to the stage that all my walks on footpaths in tree areas have flooded so much the puddles are too deep and it looks like at least two weeks more. 

I am not in the worst part of the country, so I can't imagine how difficult it is in some areas.

Parents
  • This is the weather I love. Sunny days are horrible! I hate them! I wish it could be windy and raining every day. I love it. I sometimes sit in the car outside my outside my house, cup of tea, and just listen to the rain hitting the window. Is fab. If I had my way the sun would be destroyed.
    Whilst most people wake up in a great mood if the sun is shining and clear skies, for me, it makes me want to hide, close the curtains and put on some wind and rain sounds. Naturally, with the lighter nights around the corner, I am dreading it, so I’m trying to make the most of these glorious gloomy days.

    If the sun were destroyed, it would be night all time -would that be your thing, or do you like it grey-ish like it is when it's this rainy weather? So you would have a dark/grey cycle? 

    My youngest sibling is very light sensitive, bright sunlight gives them a headache!  (we believe she is autistic too). 
    I do like a bright day to raise the spirits, so even in the same family we are different with this.

  • I would love to be night all the time haha. I love the dark nights, they’re so cozy. The sun is just awful. I’ve always hated the sun, even as a child, it’s got worse as I’ve gotten older though. When the sun is beaming through, just hate it. I get headaches at work under the fluorescent lights, and I do sometimes get it with the sun, although I find myself being more drained physically and mentally being in the sun. Sound sensitivity is my biggest thing. Sounds like she could be too then!
