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

[sunset_dreaming]

Mixed feelings simply due to the climate of where I live. Happy as summer is on the rise but quietly not looking forward to the high humidity, rain and general ickyness that also comes with summer here.

Now if I could spend all my summer dayze lazing on the beach and taking dips in the rock pools whilst sipping cold beers…. might just have a slightly different attitude

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 always had positive associations with fall, and it has long been my favorite season. There is a slight undefined melancholy mixed in, but I like the cooler fall weather (although in the South, the coolness and reduced humidity doesn't hit until late October). I like the colors. I like wearing jeans and long sleeves. I like football season. I like the approach of the holiday season.

Are you kidding? In this part of the world September is absolutely prime. Thee is a world outside of the USA

As a kid, when the Jerry Lewis Telethon came on, you knew your goose was cooked and you'd be in school within a day or so. Then when he sang, “You’ll never walk alone” at the end, that was the topper for September depression setting in…

Do you have summer break from school in the US during August? In the UK we do so September rolling around made me sad because playing out with your friends all day on your bike was coming to an end. Maybe it’s like a muscle memory.

But yes, I feel sad when September comes, I love summer and I’m in the UK so our weather is shit and I dread the long, rainy, dark days. However! In terms of fashion: Layering, wearing tights, a nice scarf, my fancy coat - all come with autumn/winter. So every cloud.

 

[Lily1011]

Yes! There is a certain smell in the breeze that puts me down and with the seasonal changes, I get seasonal depression.

 

[Wonderer67]

I have slight seasonal affective disorder. I love the long days of summer and being outside till it’s dark.

I also don’t mind heat or humidity.

By September the days get shorter and I don’t like that. There’s a sort of melancholia abt it I suppose. Nothing major.

Soetmwbe means closing our pool. And my wife and I are naked poolside or by the patio a lot in the summer. I will
Miss the outdoor sex.

Back in the day, like the OP, I used to count down the days till school started, so that was no fun.

At the same time , we always take our vacation in September and I do enjoy the cooler and crisper weather. Had a nice little fire last night out by the patio.

I come from a place that has only two seasons: too hot and too wet. My favourite thing about living in Europe is those autumn and winter days when the sun is shining but the temperature hovers just above zero. That's the thing I'm going to miss when we go home for good.

 

[Chernosoth]

This is still August and I caught a cold from sleeping with a window open. Now the heat is on with three weeks of summer left.

 

[cdstefi]

Yeah. You can start to feel the summer days shortening already, and as my wife's a teacher, early September is the time when you really know the holidays are over and it's knuckle down to work and early starts time again (I start work dead early anyway, but it's always more full on when we both have to get ready in the morning)

 

[MidKnight1378]

Here in Florida it’s the end of rainy season. I don’t like the days getting shorter but most years it’s a nice break from our wettest month of the year which is August.

I won't get into particulars, but there is a certain date in September I always breathe a sigh of relief when it passes. My Grandmother, Mom and a favorite uncle of mine all passed on this particular date in different years of course. What is odd is that my mother and uncle, according to their death certificates, died to the minute, one year apart. Other than that, fall is my favorite time of year.

I’m sorry to hear that.

This puts me in mind of the Green day song “wake me up, when September ends”

It used to be a really bad emotional day for me. Not so much now, but for years I was a nervous wreck on that day.

I hope this one passes for you with more peace and may that continue as time goes by xx

Absolutely love September, but I'm in a beach town. The tourists leave and we call it locals summer. Great weather, perfect for swimming and boating since it's almost the same as August. I do get sad and depressed when the leaves change color and the cold starts to set in. Winter wrecks me. Has since childhood. Could never handle the cold. There is an annual attempt to escape to someplace warm and tropical, then I start the countdown to summer weather again.

 

[ShamBaLa]

It's a skitzoid feeling. I love autumn colors and the crisp air. But it means shorter days and cold is coming. My SAD kicks in. Pleasure knowing pain is coming, then Spring and pleasure again. Hmmm. I might be on to something

 

[MyMostSecretLife]

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

Live here also...Absolutely. Just a little cooler...just a little...
