Although there are many things that are cause for pleasant emotions, like sunshine, warmth, and longer days, the summer months can also generate some uncomfortable emotions as well.
In the nicer months, social media can be full of photos and videos of social gatherings, vacations, beach days, and cottage trips, featuring groups of smiling people and fun experiences. If our reality doesn’t match up, it can amplify feelings of sadness and/or loneliness.
