does the weather/season effect your mood?

When the winter hits I tend to feel depressed. The reason why I am depressed is because I am inside the house and have no where to go. I have always hated winter. I do love the summer because I can go outside and garden. In the spring it depends if it is warm or cold. In Idaho we could still see snow in the spring. Actually my husband told me one year it had snowed in June.

Well, its do all the time ... due to weather some times I miss college and some classes ... some times i don't follow the routine ... So its happen ...

Yes mine too and in the same way you mentioned ,if it rainy and overcast then I am in a lethargic mood not wanting to do much except sleep .However ,if its sunny and bright I want o go out and get some sun basks in its warmth.I guess I can say that the energy from outside filters into your body and similarly lack of this energy takes away your internal energy as well

definitely .. weather and climatic conditions affect my mood to a great extend.. the hot climate make me feel exhausted and cold climate prevents me from going outside and doing anything.. light cool climate generally makes me work hard and also makes me romantic and enthusiastic...

The weather have verry strong effect over me...if the weather is nice i also am full of energy but if the weather is bad then i am also lazy,bored, unhappy... anyway i prefer the summer...i am borned in summer...i am full of energy in this season, i feel beautyfull, i feel strong and shine. The summer is for me the season of posibilities, oportunities and liberty :) I love the strong colours i love the fresh smell...i live on the Black Sea coast so i love the sea.

Well I live in Iowa and let me tell you the weather affects me dearly when it snows or rains I tend to want to sleep and just be in a sad or even grumpy mood. I feel angry when its too sunny.. but I tend to feel good when its partly cloudy I know its weird I wonder if anyone else oout there has my problem or if there is anyone else from iowa here

I'm definitely affected by what's going on outside my window. A temporary change, like a rainy day, won't usually affect me much. I might feel a little sleepier than usual if it's gray outside, but that's about it. But long-term seasonal changes really get to me. The major factor is the amount of daylight. I live right next to the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Having the mountains in the west means that sunset takes place about an hour earlier than it does in other places. An hour less of daylight doesn't make a huge difference in the summer, but right now it gets dark around 4:30 pm, and it seriously affects my mood and my productivity. Having it dark so early makes it feel like it's later than it really is, and I start to get really stressed about things I don't have done yet. I also get tired a lot faster. I guess you could probably say that I have seasonal affective disorder.

Well, yeah. I'm on the mood when the weather is cloudy and windy but during summer sometimes it pisses me off because of super hot weather and when it's raining I also don't like that much going to school because of being wet, although I loved to sleep at that kind of weather because it's cold.

Hello dracoserpintenes, I know that I always seem to get more tired in the winter time and I think it is because when it gets cold outside we all like to cuddle in the nice warm house under the blankets and I tend to get more comfortable which makes me sleepy. I seem to get more vibrant and alive in the summer times and I think it has to do how bright it is and how you are able to get outside so much more. I also get this loving type feeling during this time of year as well, if that makes any sense.

I have to say the weather/season affects my mood especially here. When christmas season comes, the christmas wind is here and it cheers me up even when I am down. Like I would wake up and feel the breeze so crisp and cool, it really brightens up my day. When its summer, I feel so tired and I feel like taking showers ever so often. So yeah, definitely changing seasons affect my mood.

Yes I feel comfortable in rain. I love spring bcoz of lovely flowers every where.

hi dracoserpintenes, Yes, I agree that weather/season does affect one's mood..It has a big contributory effect in a person.. An example is when there is a bad weather like typhoon and due to the change , you have no choice,but to accept the fact that your outdoor activities are stocked up that day..it will greatly affect your mood.. second, persons who have mood swings, if the weather does not conform with his plans for the day? or what ever he will be up to finish that day? It will also add an effect to his moods.. But, somehow it affect one's mood? still there will come to a certain point that his mood will decline after the busy day and wait for the next day to be a better one, meaning, a new mood again.. Moods are expressions of any person, the mood of a person is always changing, but no matter how his mood maybe? it is better to end up the day with a SMILE and an appreciation in our existence, because of all these effects? WE ARE HUMAN, to see, and FEEL all the great things to experience in this world.. It is part of all the changes and it is a cycle we will be dealing to as long we live in this world.

sometimes yes. Because there is much rain and cloudy in my country. We are not southern country. But not alwas weather effects mine mood.

Well, yes. I certainly get more introspective when the weather is not good for outdoor activities, which is understandable. I do appreciate watching the rain / snow falling, and thinking about life in general -- I need to pay attention not to get depressed, though.

The weather definitely effects my mood which is why I moved to the south where it's warm and sunny all year long. Last September we took a trip back up north and just being in the cloudy, dreary chill of the Fall caused my mood to go down. There is scientific evidence that the lack of sunlight during the cold months can cause your mood to fall so I always take advantage of the sunshine here.

It does. It's all about the light. If it's bright and sunny out then I normally have more energy but if it's dreary and dark then I get depressed and lag a lot. I'm kind of odd though because I like it when it rains :)

From being tropical country like India,the sultry summers are something which I hate.It may not be very hot,but the humidity is most irritating and pisses me of.Otherwise,I like the winters.Its cold and really like to feel the sunshine on myself.I even like rains but not those with huge thunderstorms.The silent showers so that I can take a walk or play in it.The mood gets lightened up by all this.

yah the season effect me vary hurtly it is my weak point that i cannot cotrole myselfe if the wather change.

I am more inclined to stay indoors and be a couch potato when it's cold outside. On the other hand, I'm much more active and energetic when it's summer and the sun is shining everyday. I do enjoy the rain on occasion though because it can be very relaxing. So yes, I think the weather does affect my mood. If I'm having a bad day and it's gross outside, then my mood just tends to keep getting worse, but if the sun comes out, then I'm reminded that there is good things to be thankful for.

Well, living in Arizona, I can get pretty sick of the constant sunshine. I really enjoy rain and overcast days. My girlfriend lived in Ohio for a long time and she said the constant rain and clouds was very depressing. I guess it depends on the person. I do hear that sunshine is good for you though, health wise.
