Venting Does anyone else feel more suicidal during summer?

Saaaaame!! Summer where I am is so short. I feel like I need to make the best of it while the nice weather is here, but that doesn't magically remove depression from my life. That creates this vicious cycle of being sad because I can't make the best of it, but never making the best of it because I'm sad. I also self harm less in the summer due to being harder to hide so my ability to cope with things is lower when I don't have that.

i feel worse during the summer. i always feel aimless around this time of year. but i also just dont like hot weather, being sweaty, too much sunshine makes me more sluggish

then again i don't like winter either. ig i genuinely always feel like shit woops

It seems to be an almost universal pattern that suicide rates are higher in Spring and Summer than in Autumn/Fall and Winter. It was first pointed out in the 1890s by Emile Durkheim, in his book "On Suicide", and many studies since then have found the same pattern.
