My worst time of the year seems to be now (May) and the holiday season (mid-November through early January). The holidays are especially hard because of losses I've experienced and how my life has been in stasis ever since college graduation in 2010. I am currently experiencing a bout of the May blues and have in 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010. I think it is partly because of seeing all the vanity of your plans for the summer, and also just a cyclical thing.
My best time of the year is when the leaves change in mid-September to when they fall in mid-October. I especially like warm autumn days. This is interesting because I was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, my father died, and my grandfather died, all in October.

What are your best and worst times of the year?
My least favorite month is October.. the days are getting shorter but it's not the Holiday season (yet).. for some reason, I actually feel better in January even though the days are shorter but they're slowly getting longer.
tvdxer, inoperable cancer = October permanently all-time worst month IMO. Not to mention the deaths...my condolences.
Now my plight seems minimized, but I'll proceed anyway. For me the worst months are or have seemed to be November and April. November because of the regional dreariness and the reality of winter setting in...April because spring is taking hold and I'm probably not quite sharing in the general mood uplifting I witness around me. I'd say my aversion to November is roughly lifelong while my dislike for April is a product of the past 7-8 years. The past many springs I've felt a strong desire to withdraw...I once read that spring was a bad time for suicides. That may have only pertained only for people with a bipolar diagnosis, though, I forget. Regardless, it struck me as...understandable.
Best is I guess summer, but sometimes these days I lean winter instead. As a kid the best was always summer.
I was just thinking about this the other day. I find in my life this has changed a lot. As for now though I really dislike spring and summer. I love Fall and winter. I come alive then. There is college football which I love and Halloween starts off the holiday seasons of thanksgiving and Christmas. And after New years I spend every waking moment snow skiing until April. Now everything is just blah! I am the only one I know who is already counting down the days until Fall 2014. It also does not help that I am the only one usually in my circle that feels this way and I am always looked at as "weird".
In college and high school I of course loved Summer and Spring. Even a few years post college I loved summer and would host cook outs and pool parties on the summer holidays..but since 2008 or so I usually just work and stay inside during the summer I just can't take the heat anymore and it's not just that, it's the whole atmosphere of summer where it's daylight all the dang time...but yeah that is how I am. I understand what the Op is saying too!
Best time of year for me is October - December. Love the fall season and even at my advanced age, I still love the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. Worst has to be January-that month really sucks followed by July-hate the intense heat and humidity.
