Anyone else have a problem with summer?

Yes, I loathe summer.

Feel ill when it's hot, too much bright sunshine gives me headaches.

Can't sleep properly at night, so permanently exhausted.

Too much noise outside, too much activity.

I feel exposed and uncomfortable when I can't wear a coat.

I love to walk, and in summer it's often too hot to do so for long.

I hate summer. The heatwaves wear me down, and I haven't seen hardly any rain, this summer. The sun tires me out, and I'm in the process of saving up for a good air conditioner for next summer. The only thing that I enjoy about summer, is that I get to go to my local pool, and swim in the water for a few hours, on the mornings that I either don't work, or that I'm not busy. It seems as though I was meant to have been born and living in England. It's around 33 degrees Celsius in the daytime where I'm stuck living, right now. It's at least 10 degrees cooler in London, during the day time.

i hate when it's cloudy and overcast. not so much when the clouds are darker grey. but when it's all that light grey color and it hurts my eyes to look at because for whatever reason it seems bright as hell. it's like the clouds aren't thick enough to deflect all the sunlight, but seem to bend it so it speads the suns blinding effect across the whole skyline.

sunny days with no clouds however are no problem. mostly because i don't make a habit of staring directly at the sun and just wear sunglasses if it's particularly bright out

i have come in here to save the thread everyone,







so cold, so inviting, just a few more months away`!

ah well yer welcome. i dont have airconditioning, only fans wich seems to just push all the hot air around. im dying here, and now drama has set in. im getting dramatic about the heat and anythings possible at this point

^ Thank you rich.....that feels better with no glaring sunshine

last2know those are the the kachina peaks. (they are called this because the hopi indians believe there gods (the kachinas) live there

taken from: http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Kachina

"Within Hopi mythology, the Kachinas are said to live on the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona. The most important Hopi Kachinas are called wuya."

and they are practicly the best indians around these parts not that i have a bias but the navajo are from the pacific northwest, moved down stole most indians ideas in the southwest and now our town is run a mill with them. but us townfolk just call them the peaks

and labpet the sun was defintely left out of the picture on purpose

I have many of the problems you do - light sensitivity, hate heat, can't stand the extra activity/crowdedness in summer -, but my mood is worse in winter. I don't have a mood disorder so it doesn't get that bad, but I sure notice the difference.

All the replies have been interesting! I hope that everyone who also has this problem, finds ways to cope with it. Today it has been cooler and overcaste and a nice break from the hot and bright sunshine. One positive thing is that I put in a garden this year and have enjoyed myself in tending and caring for it. I have had to keep deer out of it though! They are worse than a plauge of locusts!! I can't wait for mid september through december, my favorite time of year!! !

Like a lot in this tread I don't like summer for too much light and heat.

Only thing that make summer livable here is that it also thunderstorm season (like thunderstorm)

I like thunder storms to as long as they are not dry ones that just blow dust around which is bad for my allergies. The dry thunderstorms have a lot of lightnig stikes which can cause wild fires. This can smell really bad!! ! It's not a good thunderstorm without a bunch of rain to go with it!! !!
