I also dislike the autumn and winter as I experience real anxiety at this time of year. It started many years ago for me. I find the dark nights drawing in so suffocating and claustrophobic. Really hate having central heating on as I feel trapped. Unsure if It is seasonal affective disorder but I wish I could hibernate and wake up in the Spring which is my favourite time of the year. Take care you’re not alone.

Hi.You are not alone.I get really down and anxious dark nights are depressing.We waste so much of the year in this country,i go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.In summer i go out walking after work meet up with friends but that all stops September.I just stay in!The dark nights seem to last a lot longer than the light nights.My 92 year old mum hates them to and the nights seem never ending.So i know exactly how you feel.

I feel exactly the same but about spring. I dread the summer and look forward to September. I love the coziness of the nights drawing in and the anticipation of Christmas. I suppose it wouldn’t do for us all to be the same. Take care x

I too am with you in the autumn hating! When I was younger I blamed it on going back to school after the long carefree holidays. Now it’s partly due to the fact that it means I’m another year older, who wants their birthday in September?! There is nothing for it but to shut out the world and shop all the great products on QVC. Thanks for your lovely blogs, we can make it through this dreaded month X

I to hate autumn I actually prefer winter as spring is round the corner and the days start to open out.It felt so good to read that it’s not just me,the older I become the more I seem to loathe it,if I could hibernate until December I probably would! I have defiantly become more agitated and Covid 19 has made it a whole lot worse.Take care Claudette Jones

May I suggest you look into the natural remedy St Johns Wort. Lorraine Kelly GMB called it her little winter sunshine helper!!! It’s a natural pick me up, mood lifter for those of us who feel a little lower than usual during the winter months. Obviously you need to check with your GP if you’re on any other medication. If not get a sun lamp, wear a Hawaiian shirt and drink cocktails til spring!! Like the look of the mattress topper, I recently bought the Sealy TSV so this would go nicely for extra princess and the pea effect. Take care x

I love reading your beautifully written & interesting blogs. I feel exactly the same as you about the season change with one small difference…with me it’s late Spring. I cannot tolerate heat. I feel lethargic & uncomfortable & would get terrible sunburn unless I use high spf & stay in the shade. The high summer months really fill me with dread. Weird I know but it wouldn’t do if we were all the same!

I totally agree with you about autumn. I dread it coming. People tell me i should embrace all the seasons. I have tried but still i dislike it. Like you i cant explain why. The summer has gone so quickly. So let us keep warm and comfortable and roll on spring. Keep safe and well x
