This summer was not very good for me, and it went by so fast. I feel like life is slipping through my fingers, and it makes me sad. I do love the fall though, so trying to stay positive.
@Amy B. All of this resonates with me. And I love the fall too! Cheering us on, friend ❤️🩹
@Hobbit Thank you! I'm cheering us on as well ❤️
Please know you are not alone. Sending so much love and support your way.
@Mackenzie - NOCD Team Member Thank you, Mackenzie. I appreciate that ❤️
I am so excited, I just had a baby and I cant wait for him to be big enough to go on little outings, we can do fun fall stuff in just a couple of months!
I'm ready for pumpkins dawg.
I look forward to the fall season, but I wish I had more time for summer vacation.
This is so relatable.
Well, more change will be coming, but what can you do right so I’m gonna try to make the best of it. I don’t really like fall winter. You have to wear more clothes more things to worry about make sure you have socks or stockings for the day I like to be able to just get up throw on what’s needed and run out the door, but I have to stay positive then I’ll I’ve done it before many years and I’ll do it again
@LadyAmesG Im the same way in terms of winter and so much clothing!
I prefer the Fall, I just hate when life feels like it’s passing by too fast
Summer is my favorite season and Autumn is my least favorite. So as I’m sure y’all could imagine I’m really not happy about that. I don’t like how the temperatures and day lengths are decreasing day by day, and I also have bad allergies in the fall, and all my teachers at school are always asking me on an assignment “What is something you like about fall”? I like literally nothing and hate so much. It’s so dumb.
@Anonymous i completely relate to that view point. i try to hold on to summer as long as i can by spending time outside before the weather turns. Being in the sunshine and getting vitamin D usually improves my mood during fall.
Well things have been rough but fall is my favorite part of the year I hope that can naturally help some
You've got this!
I’m excited I love fall and Halloween!
Fall is my FAVORITE time of year!
@Mackenzie - NOCD Team Member My favorite too!!
I’m excited for fall because I’ve been able to successfully split “fall” and “Halloween” and now I enjoy the season a ton, but also because I’m getting married in the fall!!
@cNatDeFrn Congrats!!
Congratulations!
I love fall but I’m also dreading winter bc I get really bad seasonal depression and bc I live in a basement, I’m already starting to get stress that I will get more depressed earlier
Excited for school and fall
I love it. Bring on fall. I’m sick of sweating as soon as I get in my car!
THIS!
I definitely get anxious when the change of seasons happens from summer to Fall to winter… I live being outside and the slower pace of summer.
@Hopeful58 Same. I’m dreading the severe dip in my depression that always seems to happen around winter time 😬 I hope you have a smooth transition, though! Wishing you the best ❤️
@dreamywriter Thank you friend! Same to you!!
It was nice to have a long summer and I’m enjoying being home, but im ready to go back to my dorm and back to my college state. I also just reallyyyy love fall so I’m excited for that weather and all the seasonal stuff
@Anonymous and Halloween!!!!
I LOVE fall too!
A bit concerned because I have seasonal depression.
Sending so much love and support your way!
I am excited for the fall and cozy season coming up. At the same time though, I'm feeling a little bit of pressure to feel more present and feel better to enjoy those moments of the year.
I am both excited and anxious because of school and exams. But I really like comfy sweaters and warm tea =)
I was looking forward to fall and winter as I like the holiday seasons and everyone staying indoors. But I think I want the warm weather and sunshine to stick around. It feels more positive mindset inducing with nice weather. Also, the month of August and September are emotionally contaminated for me as I had a really bad ocd episode this time of year a couple years ago. So now I look at this time of year as ‘months’ to get through without spiraling and confessing, etc.
Not excited about it ending. Love summer. Absolute favorite season. Feel much better during summer.
so excited for it!
Me too!
I love the winter months, and festivities. I also know that the weather change makes me isolate more/have more fatigue, and there's usually more anxiety. Hoping for the best.
Im excited for all the spooky szn activities but i do feel like summer flew by, having kids seems to have exponentially sped the rate at which summer passes me by 🥲 😆
Only thing I look forward to in fall is my birthday in October and the day after halloween for cheap candy and snacks leftover at the stores. Otherwise I don’t enjoy winter at all. Its dark gloomy and cold most days and wear like 3 layers of clothing everyday is tiring. It definitely makes me feel more depressed.
I hate summer as a depressed and chronically ill person
Actually summer unfortunately has already ended for me, and I am now back to the daily struggle of middle school.😔✌️
fr girl me too
The year is finishing so fast
Im a little sad this Summer has came to an end, but happy that this California weather cools down!😅
Yet I don’t want it to end
I’m so excited! Summer just smells bad, fall smells fresh and is cool
I’m anxious about summer ending. I’ve made a lot of progress and undergone a lot of change this summer, and I’m worried that in the coming fall and winter I will regress. I think it’s easier to be reclusive during fall and winter. But at the same time, I prefer the weather in fall and winter and will probably spend more time outside, which to me is a very good thing. I’ve always gotten anxious at this time of year— it feels like I just got used to summer living and now my entire life is going to change again.
I'm kinda excited for the fall too because Halloween is such a good distraction ;)
can't wait :) I'm tired of the sticky air and constantly sweating.. bring on the cool breezes and pumpkins everywhere!
I’m soooo ready for autumn!!! 🍂
I felt good
I miss summer person. I know these days have been hot here in California, but I like when it stays miter longer the winter gets too baby for me but I know I’ll be OK cause God’s in control. God bless everyone.
I love the summer for hot weather and the beach, but I absolutely love fall for festivals and fairs, fall scents and treats, and all the fun holidays and family time!!
Sad and excited
I hate winter with a passion and fall depresses me bc it means winter is next…
I feel so very happy cause I hate the heat and can't wait for it to be fall and to get my PSL
It feels weird to be at school especially since I'm in college now. I can't wait for the bugs to be gone, and the snow to come in ... But hopefully I'm out my wheelchair by then. There are ups and downs of every season. I'm not sure if I have to try and be top of my class at school anymore since I got to college. Just enough to stay passing I guess
I’m in aus it is abt to be summerrrrrr
Bring on cooler weather!! The Texas heat is miserable 😭 also being on SSRIs makes me sweat bucketsssss 🥵
I am super excited!!!!
I'm looking forward to a decent temperature in the morning so I can have a warm spicy latte and not be drenched in sweat before noon. Oh and all the fun home decor is already on sale everywhere. I want more items with bats or crows to decorate my space, and that usually inspires new craft projects which are always a good way to transition into indoor activities for the colder months. I'm already kind of mentally planning Christmas gifts too. 😅 it's also going to be really nice to take more walks outside without worrying too much about the awful humidity, mosquitos or ticks as much, plus the exercise will be nice. Depression hates a moving target.
Boooooooooooo Oooooooooooooooooooooo
I love the fall.
I'm a bit sad about summer ending, and there's a lot of changes at school, but I love seeing my friends everyday and love school (the fun parts anyways), and I can't wait for fall and winter!
