Does anyone else hate sunny weather?

Or just too much sunlight? Whenever I'm outside I always see floaters and other visual epiphenomenons, and it's downright annoying and makes it too hard to concentrate.

+1 for artifical lighting, supermarkets are the worst. This time of year with such liitle sunlight and then when it is sunny the light is so harsh, does terrible things to DR.

Oh man, Sunny days. The worst for my DR, such intense visual brightness and all the details. Brutal.

Supermarkets/Stores are really bad too - those florescent lights, especially when their flickering -_-

I definitely agree that overexposure to sunlight makes everything look surreal. I no longer suffer from DR and I still don't enjoy the way it conflicts with my vision.

I'd rather be in a supermarket or somewhere indoors that protects me from too much sunlight. The heat brimming from it bothers me too. Flourescent lights don't bother me that much unless I'm in the mall.

I hate sunny days for a number of reasons:

Reminds me of when I was dp free and could enjoy it
More floaters
Cloudless sky makes me uncomfortable, seems too vast or something

Of course, I live in Canada so it's nice when it's just warmer in general.

Sunny days definitely remind me of my mental state before DP and how I was able to enjoy it then.

Whenever it's sunny by me and someone makes a comment like, "It's such a beautiful day" I just tell them I hate sunny weather and they look at me weird. They don't understand my afflictions.

Im the total opposite...I hate cloudy grey rainy days..They depress me so much...I suffer from SAD and winters can be harsh on my depression...I guess its probably because in Ireland we see so many cloudy overcast rainy days and such little sunlight....When the sun comes out i feel invigorated!

I live in Colorado so it's sunny most of the year. I love cloudy overcast days, I like to feel the rain on my skin it almost makes me feel "alive".
