Sunny weather is depressing for me 😕

Sunny weather :sunny: makes me depressed because I feel I should be out in it enjoying it. I went into town today to get my meds and couldn’t wait to get back.

One part of my brain was saying, “look at the potential of what you could be doing” the other was saying “just get back to the comfort of the T.V.”

I’m begining to wonder if I have an element of agoraphobia. That would explain a lot.

when the sun is out it just shows how dark it is inside in comparison

yeah it is 2 pm and I still do not want to go out for a walk.

This lifestyle/town makes me so lazy

I just googled agoraphobia and I dont think I have it. Maybe it’s just plain old social anxiety.

i enjoy the sunny weather indoors. for one, i don’t need to hide in my bed covers like in the winter. that alone is very relieving and freeing. i can actually sit up, on my sleeping mat, without being cold. also, i get the extra sunlight from the window. i get a cool sunlight beam ghosting through the window. very comforting and calm.

i can walk outside without a coat, which helps me enjoy the weather more. and i can exercise indoors, without feeling cold like in the winter.

Try to get out at least once every day and go for a walk in the park. It will make you feel like you’re enjoying the weather even if you aren’t. Besides it’s more than most people do. A lot of normies have very unhealthy habits.

Part of the problem is I live in an awkward place for transport. I have to get a taxi to go anywhere, but while I couldn’t go out everyday I could certainly go out more than once a month which is all I’m managing at the moment I suppose.

:bicyclist: maybe?

This is unhealthy. Feels comfortable I guess.

That’s the reason I spend so much time indoors.

I suffer with Agoraphobia @everhopeful, but when I was on Abilify, my Agoraphobia was over the top.

Thinking about it, I used to go out a LOT more before I was on abilify :thinking:

@everhopeful Can you go out for a daily walk, just to get some fresh air and a bit of exercise?

I used to feel that way but lately I’ve started going out in the evening to watch the sun go down and the birds flying home for the evening.

I think the main reason the hot sunny weather is hard for me is people to become a lot more agitated and aggressive, run around, shout, “have a good time” but it seems like their good time means my panic attack. I prefer people hiding in their coats in the winter. I know this sounds misanthropic, I guess it is.
