I think that one good reason why my depression increases during this time of year is because of having to deal with increased noise. The windows are all opened and I can hear all kinds of noises from the outside that I'd rather not hear at all. Plus I live near an airport (fortunately it's an airport for small planes) and it seems like they are louder at this time of year. It's really annoying when I'm have a peaceful time listening to music that I like, and then the airplanes drown it out.

Also the guy who lives in the next condo unit to me can sometimes play his music really loud. It's not only loud, but bassey, too. It's like a "boom-boom" sound. It's hip hop or ghetto music and it's horrible. Sometimes during the nights he has it going while I'm watching a movie.
