Bad Weather=Depression


Yu Yu Hakusho!

Recommended Posts

I could hardly wake up this morning since it was so dark and rainy outside. I always feel depressed whenever it rains or is dark and yet I love rainy days and always feel so relaxed. I think I read somewhere that it's called the SAD effect or something like that....you seniors out there or whatever (just someone older than me) proably know what I'm talking about better than I do.....but anyway, it's just so wierd. For 3 days in a row, it's been raining at night and in the morning getting really dark and then by like 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds get hazy and it stops raining (by the way, I live in South Texas, near Houston)...is that how October weather is supposed to be? Oh well. I just hope it get cold and stays cold. I'm hoping to see some snow this year, although it will proably sleet a bit...that's what happenes every year. I've never seen snow in my entire life and the farthest place up north I've ever been to is North Carolina where I was born (and lived for 2 weeks then moving to New Orleans for 9 misrable years...)
Blah blah, I know....

I can definitely relate, Yu. I lived in Michigan for 17 years before recently moving to California. It is proven that Lansing (where I lived) is one of the rainiest cities in the United States, so I get confused when it doesn't rain here. In fact, Ventura seems to not have had any rain for about a month...and I am simply puzzled by it :)

The gloomy Michigan days really got me down, too. I hated seeing the snow last for months, hated driving on the icy roads, hated the bitterly cold air that would bite at your skin until you took refuge indoors. I hated the rainy spells that would last for three days at a time with only one dry day inbetween the spells. The only thing that could ever cure my "weather depression" was going to the tanning booth, laying in the warm tanning bed and pretending it was warm outside as well.

So, actually, you're not missing anything by not seeing snow. Snow can bite me :p[/color]

[size=1] Hey, Yu Yu. Do you by any chance live in San Antonio? It was [i]exactly[/i] the same way when I woke up this morning. ;) It was so hard to get out of bed, rain doesn't sepress me, it just makes me sleepy. I fell asleep twice at school. Once in advisory and once in 1st period. [/size]

[color=red] Hahah...rain is nothing. How about here in North Dakota--It snowed about 4 inches yesterday and today combined. Now that's what I call depressing weather. I mean, it isn't even Halloween yet...and it's snowing. Bleh, winter is going to totally [i]bite[/i].[/color]

I live in western Washington and I LOVE the rain.... and snow,hail,sleet,dark clouds,cold air.:) Now that its getting to fall, its more like that. I think the rain is relaxing and peaceful and it makes me happy. I HATE however, warm,dry places. I get sick when theres heatwaves (happens more often in the summer here, now) and hot dry types of places liike California and Arizona. Man, I thought I was going to die in Mexico, far down near the middle.

[COLOR=darkblue]Mine is quite the opposite. It gives my *ahem* girl that is a friend to come to my house and chill with me. Ahhh, that is why rain is my friend.[/COLOR]

I love gray dark overcast rainy days. It's more beautiful than when the sun is out to me. I like it when it's dark. My favorite part of the day is the night and my favorite season is Autumn so dark and rain goes with me. I hate bright colors like clothing, and just like some people hate rainy days, i hate bright colorful days.

[color=indigo]I think I remember studying a type of depression (and I am pretty sure it was a bi-polar condition) that had symptoms that occured only during bad weather and was more frequent in winter. The treatments (for the majority of people) are lithium and and a special lamp that simulates sunlight (a patient sits under the light for an hour a night).

That probably isn't your problem, but I thought it was a nifty piece of info.[/color]

[color=royalblue]I love rain. Rainy weather is great...it makes me feel cosy when I'm inside. It's great to sit down and read a good book...or play a good video game while it's dark and rainy outside.

Melbourne is a very weird place. It's famous for its "fickled" weather.

Like today for example. This morning it was hailing/raining so hard...and it was very dark. Then it went bright and sunny. And then over the last hour it was all dark and haily again...and now it's sunny and bright lol.

I enjoy that unpredictability in weather...I like the fact that I never know how the weather will be one day to the next, generally.[/color]

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]I love rain, and even more, I love SNOW!! ^_^

Rain, like James said is good for just lounging around . I use it for catching up on games, and getting a lot of other things done. Weather in Tennessee is pretty easy to tell. . though, we have had our months where the temperature has been really crazy -- one day shorts, the next long sleeve shirts, the next day shorts, and then again with sweaters. . (oh, that was a hot, cool, hot, cold set up there). *shrug* Oh well. . I just want it to snow here ^_^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

I know what you mean, Jeh, as Christchurch is much the same... o_O;

As for bad weather... I love it. It's sunny right now... Blegh. I wish it was overcast and windy... But unfortunately for me, Summer's coming up... -___-

Well, I myself like rain. Just gives me a nice feeling inside when it's raining. Don't know why though...

Also gives me a chance to catch up on video games I haven't played for a while, which usually helps calm my nerves.

And living quite close to James I too experience that classic Melbourne weather. And like James, I quite enjoy the unpredictability in the weather. Always keeps you guessing...

I've heard of that SAD syndrome before.. I know the S stands for Sunlight, and the D stands for Disorder.. but I can never remember what the A stood for..

Here in the UK we don't get much sun anyway, so it's only really relative depression when we get even less... -_-
