I really fucking hate it. I've been sunburned pretty bad in the past so maybe that's a factor, but being in the sun makes me extremely uncomfortable and anxious. It's worse when I'm driving and the sun is shining in through the window and I can't get away, I feel trapped. I actually feel violated if I have to unexpectedly be in direct sunlight and I'm not prepared (by wearing sunscreen or clothes to protect my skin). And it takes me a while to feel emotionally prepared to go outside on a sunny day for more than a few minutes at a time.

I know plenty of people prefer overcast, rainy days, or even night over sunny days but this seems a little extreme to me and I don't understand it. It sounds crazy even to me when I put it into words. I'm only bringing it up now because I just had a breakdown over it. I said I was going to mow my elderly neighbor's lawn for her (I do that sometimes) but I couldn't bring myself to leave the house. Instead I laid on the floor and cried.

I don't know what the hell to do about it.

i hate, you

i hate, you

rlly bby, after all i done for u

Talk to your doctor? That sounds like either an actual phobia, or like sunlight is affecting you way more than it should on a physical level. Some people's skin is extra sensitive to it and stuff, and you might be able to do something about it.

Well,I'm sure the sun hates you too

I do prefer overcast days too. I think for me I have enough English blood that the entire lack of sunlight thing doesn't effect me in a negative depressy way, and I know overcast days have a way of milding out the temperature so an overcast day in the summer is cooler while an overcast day in the winter is warmer. I also really really hate heat.

That being said, yeh, if a dislike of sunlight is more than just grumbling and fatigue then you might want to see someone.

The AC is on so low in the house now these days I would honestly much rather feel the summer warmth.

Sounds like a short story I wrote once about this person who felt like they were being physically strangled by sunlight whenever it hit them head on.

Doctor hun. Call a doctor. This is abnormal.
