Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have a summer seasonal affective disorder. I know it's a bit controversial diagnosis, but I absolutely have a terrible time during summer. It's so bad I start to be increasingly anxious about summer by the end of February because I know it's slowly approaching.
I find daylight to be pleasant like everybody, but after a very short time I start to feel drained as if it was too much. I like cloudy days or when it rains. During summer, I basically don't sleep. Even when the heat is not an issue I just can't sleep.
Lately I've been smiling and laughing more and more; I feel much more at peace. It's always strange to finally feel energized and genuinely happy when most people around me feel the complete opposite.
This is me, though I figured out a while ago it's better if I just ignore Daylight Savings.
My inner clock doesn't "switch". There's no change. There's just half the year where I'm up an hour earlier and forcing myself to bed earlier and it completely fucks my energy cycle.
