Does anyone else feel sad when September comes around every year?

[mijayoo]

I always feel a little sad when September comes around. I’ve felt this way since I was young girl living in the USA. I was adopted to the US in 1972 from the border of North and South Korea. I never knew true freedom or any of the wonderful things that came naturally to those born here. I loved summer and my adopted family was so much fun but when September came and school started it became different. I’m in my 60’s now but I never have lost slight sadness when September comes around comes. Does anyone else feel this way??

I have a general sense of anxiety when the seasons change, but October is when it really kicks into high gear. There’s just so much going on constantly from October - April that the months between feel like a haze instead of a reset period

September huh? I have never really thought about it. Usually height of hurricane season here which causes some anxiety. And rarely travel this time of year because kids are back in school so yeah maybe that causes some depression. Been listening to this tune a lot recently. Hang in there.

September, when the allergens leave and we're getting ready for fun in the snow season? I welcome it.

I actually enjoy September. My birthday is in September. It's the start of cooler temps. The leaves start changing. No mosquitoes around the campfire. Hasn't started snowing yet (that happens in October). Less busy around town, during the day, because everybody's children are in class on campus.

I never had summers off when I was younger and now I look forward to the end of state fair in September. Also the more peaceful, quieter weather.

 

[Sunlover102]

It's the beginning of our spring....so love it to pieces!

September and October are the nicest times of the year in the Noth east. Its also a great time to take a vacation somewhere.
For me January - March are the bummer months.

No cos it's my birthday on the 12th and my Granddaughter's on the 13th. I do feel broken sometimes though

I was happy to see September arrive. That meant that August was over and we had survived (or mostly survived) another hot Texas summer. Hurry up fall.

Not so much sad as resigned, the long dark winter is ahead...

 

[BDA73]

Yes sept sucks...it becomes a second tax season but with no extension available as a fall back..meaning the next two plus weeks its more hours at the office...
Also sucks as it means back to work for my wife who is a teacher and now is stressing out about setting up her classroom and wondering what kind of class she is going to get this year

 

[live4thebj]

Nope! I not a fan of the hot weather. I prefer nice to cold days. Especially cold days when you have a wood burning fireplace. I prefer my Adidas pants or swear pants wearing an Under Armor hoody. Hippies socks. Birkenstock slippers.

The only time I hated September is when I was going to school. I hated school. If technology was around back then I would have happily drop out and do home school and get a GED.

 

[Saltybabe06]

Yup!!!!

Yes definitely, me too. I’m about the same age. I think it’s the trauma of starting school again, knowing that you won’t have as much free time, combined with the fact that you can’t go to the beach, and the days are getting shorter. I live in New England so the fall brings a brief bit of color, but in the back of your mind, you know winter is coming and that you’ll be spending a lot of time indoors.

Spring is renewal fall is decay and it does have melancholy to it.

 

[Britva415]

I have clinical S.A.D. so yeah, I can already “feel” the days getting shorter in August and by November my head isn’t screwed on tight

 

[NOLAgentleman]

Living in the southeast U.S., I love to see September and the first cool fronts bringing an end to the hot, humid summer.

No I love spring so much

 

[FataMorgana]

No I'm the opposite, I love Autumn and Winter. Hate summer.

 

[billrokra]

I think the way to handle it is to embrace each season for what it is. In Europe, we've had festivals going back centuries, even millennia, to do just that. It might help to actively celebrate the autumn equinox, and Michaelmas, and harvest festivals, so you have something to look forward to in September.

 

[PrettyReckless_ILM]

No! I live in the SE of the US, and September means the outrageous humidity is going to subside.

 

[gisade]

Yep. I live in Arizona where summers are unbearable. Thankful when autumn rolls in

 

[razor33a]

Love it when fall comes around. Goodbye to hot and humid, bug thunderstorms that knock down trees, can have ac off. I can do without leaves falling so September is better than november in that respect.

Ditto this. I enjoy the onset of Fall with the cooler weather and the peace in the neighborhood as parties and construction projects move inside.

I enjoy the colors of the leaves as they cover the grass.

I relish seeing the birds and butterflies migrate south in obedience to a pattern that was established millions of years ago.

I adore walking at night and enjoying the change of season as expressed in the aroma of dinner. The transition from BBQ to the perfume of loving, indoor cooking makes me feel warm and comforted even if I'm not invited.

I like going to my wife's favorite coffee shop on a cool morning and sitting outside in her favorite spot sipping on her favorite drink while I remember her smile and her laughter.
