[quote=Anonymous]I felt this way a few years ago but not I think it was just me going through a shift in life and noticing it more. We moved to a house that gets more wind exposure and during the windy "season" (roughly February through April), I was just so stressed about the wind for about 5 years. Like to the point where I wanted to move because the wind seemed so bad. I remember a lot of sleepless nights, especially when my kid was a baby, worrying about the wind and feeling like it was just going to knock our house over.

Then I don't know what happened. The house settled. My kid got older. It still gets windy but it's not stressful. I don't know if I just got used to how our house creeks in the wind or if it actually creeks less, or if getting out of baby years and into my 40s led to a shift in hormones that made me less stress/reactive. No idea, but now the last three years, the wind doesn't seem so bad and doesn't bother me.

I was so convinced for those few years that this was a huge change due to global warming, that DC was just getting way more wind, that it was a huge problem. And now it seems fine, I notice the spring winds but it's not a big deal. A couple times a year there will be a big storm, usually linked to a coastal hurricane, and I worry about trees or big branches coming down (and that I do think is a result of climate change) but other than that I'm back to normal.

So this is not be trying to gaslight you, but is there anything that might be causing you to just feel more stressed about wind lately? For me the wind anxiety was about me, not the wind.[/quote]
