My responsibilities become greater in the summer and that is a stressor.
It's also very hot and humid here. My meds don't mix with that weather so that means a lot of times indoors, which isn't awful but it feeds my inclination to isolate. That makes me anxious because I feel like I should be doing more like regular people.
Also, I have happy memories of the summer when I was a child. Summers were spent at the beach and family dynamics were so much more relaxing then. Spending summers at the beach is not something I can afford financially and that respite from anxiety is no longer an option for me.
