Am I the only one who hates holidays especially the summer holidays?

I really hate the holidays especially the summer holidays. I know this probably sounds weird because most people look forward to them or enjoy them but I really don't. It never felt like a true break just moving from a suffocating place to another. I hate it so much I hate the heat I hate staying at home. I just never enjoy summer. I just feel lonely and depressed and I feel like I'm constantly choking on my tears. No one to go out with. Can't afford to go on a holiday on my own and probably won't be allowed to anyways. No one to talk to. I think I just hate staying at home I really hated taking a gap year a year ago it felt like one of the worst years in my life. I feel so suffocated and empty. I wish holidays were optional, I know this sounds ridiculous but I really would rather go uni and do exams than this. It's unbearable. I really hate it.

Hi @MYARIA14,

What are your plans for after summer?
The lengthy holiday break can be very isolating, so what you’ve said does make sense. Is a part time job an option?

I have no plans at all. I’ve been trying to get a part time job but it’s been so hard to because of my lack of experience and also because there aren’t many available for me. I just really want it to end it’s so suffocating. I don’t like being at home.

Hoping that this might be of some use, they seem to have information for youth employment, advice etc: https://www.youthemployment.org.uk

Are you planning on going to university or straight into work?

Sorry for the late response and thank you for the link! I’m planning to go to uni first

Trust me you are not alone in feeling this way. I felt like this especially during the long holiday after my GCSEs and I’m not looking forward to the holiday after A-levels…

I dislike downtime that isn't productive also. I can't stay at home more than two days without anything to do.

Me too I feel worthless when I’m not studying it’s as if the only validation I can get is from Education.

They get really long and depressing. Honestly I truly wish they were optional. I don’t even know I just felt so empty. Especially after A levels hopefully it goes well for you though x but I remember it just being so dreadful because all the pressure and overwhelming amount of work was suddenly gone and I had so much time I hated it. It’s not like I liked my sixth form it was suffocating there just like home. I felt like nothing but a grade there.
