This is often strange for people to believe, but I am the same way. My depression and anxiety hit a peak during the summer months, usually late July is my worst time. I can feel quite agitated and uncomfortable. I feel much *better* the rest of the year. Spring and Autumn being my favorite seasons.
I sometimes dip a little bit in the winter too, around January or so, but it's easily alleviated with wake-and-light therapy. I haven't found anything that helps summertime blues, except to stay holed up in air-conditioned rooms with all the blinds drawn. :( I become agoraphobic. I feel like I am being held hostage for 4 months by the sun.
I would love suggestions for overcoming summertime SAD.
