OK, so I wanted to have a discussion about the effects of bright summer sun on one's mood, mind and body, and then today the sun decided to shine so intensely that literally mere seconds of it cause burning in this Semite, who doesn't usually have a problem with sun.

What I was originally going to say in this thread is that bright sun causes me to experience crawling anxiety, a feeling of oppression, and a need to hide from it. I know there is such a thing as seasonal affective disorder, that usually refers to the effect of gloomy, cold, wintry weather on people's mood; but I now believe there are also people like me for whom the intense summer sun is a real problem. Obviously, the hemisphere one lives on is closer to the sun during that hemisphere's winter, increasing the brightness, heat and overall solar UV. Anyone else like this, and do you also like tea and practice for the Olympics ski jump competition?

I don't like sunny weather, either. It doesn't give me anxiety, but it makes me a little cranky. I love rainy weather, though, and there's a certain kind--really gloomy and stormy--in which I just thrive. For my further opinions:

I am not a sun fan. Today was way to sunny and hot for me. As far back as I can remember I felt great anxiety when summer came around the corner, the changes in weather are part of it but also I have always felt like there is a lack of routine and people tend to do things they normally wouldn't and let loose in a way. I like the routine that comes with winter and work/school and the dark nights and cold days. Here on the ice we don't even get dark nights during the summer. Sunny all day and all night.

I work outside in the summer and right now it's 7:30 and I have burned shoulders and I am just so tired after a day outside, I am forcing myself to stay on the computer so I won't fall asleep before 8.

Embrace it you pasty literites.

Nah but I agree with the rest of you guys about too much sun/heat. I quite like winter.
