Actually I love storms too. I dislike the brightness, the heat & humidity of summer. And we've had a lot of hot weather this year where I live. The good thing, I guess, is that I don't go out often (except to walk the dog.) So it doesn't affect me all that much. But I can't wait for fall to arrive. It's my favorite time of year. Best wishes with regard to the upcoming events in your family. I hope you are able to find a pathway through this return of depression.
