Summer SAD
Just saw it in the news. I suspected I had that for a few years now. I get winter SAD too. And generally depressed too. Go figure.

The heat extremes and humidity takes a toll definitely not a surprise. Everything is tougher in the heat including coping with the heat and mental health. Thanks for posting.

Good to know staying hydrated really helps in the heat with your physical and mental health both. 🙌🙌

Sorry to hear you're struggling with the hot weather, I've struggled greatly in the winter months before but have yet to find it difficult for me in the summer. Thank you for sharing and I hope things turn around for you sometime soon :)

Wow, thank you for sharing. I was aware of seasonal depression during the winter, but I had never heard of it occurring in the summer. This makes sense!
I think in both cases it is often our loss of connection with nature. It is always harder when we are inside more. I force myself outside for a bit no matter what the weather is. @LostTurtle2
