I feel anxiety about not being able to enjoy summer to it's fullest. I live in Sweden and unfortunately many days during the summer are cloudy and rainy. Of course you can't do anything about the weather but it still makes me feel down and disappointed.

I don't work and by that I can't go abroad and I don't have any friends to spend summer with. I'm not interested in staying in tents and that kind of activities.

By that I'm very dependent on the weather. The few days it's sunny and warm I go a nearby lake or to the sea to swim but most days it's too cold or cloudy. Sometimes I take a trip into town for a walk but I still always feel I miss out on enjoying the summer.

What I really want is a cottage close to a lake or to the sea and to live there from say May to September and just go up, go out, having coffee in nature and go for a swim several times a day.

That will never be a reality as I don't work and if I did work, then I couldn't live like that.

Some days it's even harder when the weather report says it will be rather cloudy during the day and I then think of going to town instead. But then the weather becomes too hot for town and too cloudy for the beach. I then just sit inside as the whole situation frustrates me enormously. I don't have a garden so I can't go outside and just "taking walks" is boring and makes me feel even more that I miss out on summer.
