“I feel buoyant and happy when the sun is out. I struggle when it’s dark and cloudy. It’s a challenge. It makes me not want to leave the house.”

“It depends. If I don’t have to go outside, the rain is awesome. It’s a calming thing. I can sit, have some tea and meditate. If I have to go outside, it makes me angry.”
