Does the weather affect you?

I'm one who suffers from Seasonal Affected Disorder and I'm not at all happy for that. Weather condition affects my health a lot, especially extremes. They make me useless. I read it's something connected to chemistry and the negative/positive ions in atmosphere. When there is an imbalance of the ions, these affects the chemistry of the cells. That's why some (and recently quite many) people who are more sensible feel all kinds of discomfort. Sensibility to weather is connected to other health problems the person has.

I am thinking right now that it must. We have had two major snow storms. That means that the aid does not come relieve me so that I can get out. I have been very depressed, almost debilitatingly depressed. I think some of it may be the weather and the fact that when the weather is yuck and I cannot run it has a negative effect on me too.

The changing of weather can affect me in a way that I may be triggered with allergy attack. I hate hot weather and I seem to have rashes when a sudden change of weather from cold to hot weather. Yesterday, the weather has a hot temperature and I feel itchy.

I think I get SAD. These short winter days with little light just make me want to hibernate until Spring. Thank goodness the days are already getting a bit longer and the sun is shining even though it is still cold. The bushes are budding, the birds are singing ... everything seems happy today.

When a person has SAD it's because they don't get enough vitamin D and the way people get it is from the sun. I used to get depressed if we didn't get any sun for a week or so and I didn't like it. So now I take 1250 MG of vitamin D every day and after taking it for about 2 months I feel the difference. I don't get that depressed feeling or sluggish feeling anymore when we don't get enough sunny days. There is a lot about vitamin D in the news media these days and doctors are actually pushing it more now. When I went in Dec for my yearly blood work they now tested me for my vitamin D level and found mine to be extremely low so that is why I am now taking the vitamins. My doctor says everyone in this world should be taking a suppliment, even people living in warmer climate areas.

I have depression myself and a lot of it is the seasons changing. I dont really have any problem in the summer but the winter is horrible for me. I just sink down and cant seem to climb out til the sun comes out again. If I could afford it I would go to the tanning beds as docs have recommended that for people with seasonal depression. I hope that helps!!!

To some extent , yes. It is a bit depressing when the weather gets gloomy and dark. On top of that, the weather conditions effect my travel plans. I have to travel often to places within my country and also abroad to different parts of the world. The weather conditions certainly cause a lot of problems for travelling. Many a time, I have to cancel or postpone my travel plans.

The weather does affect me. When it is sunny and warm/hot, I feel delighted and want to get moving to do stuff; when it is cloudy, I feel like staying at home to do housework, when itis raining, I just want to surfing on the internet, listening to the rain and smell the rain; when it snows, it's the same as raining but more peaceful. I liek the hot and sunny weather the best!

Yes, it really does affect me and sometimes I wonder if I do have Seasonal affected disorder. Sometimes I wish I could just escape and go live at a place where it is sunny and cloudy free all the time. But I wonder if I could get bored by it. I guess the only way to cure it is to do stuff that makes you happy and just forget about it until the season changes and gets better.

I am wondering if I am suffering from this as well. I know that every winter I feel overly tired no matter how many hours of sleep I get per night. I will have to research this and find out more about it. I live in a snowy state and this winter has been really bad. I hardly ever go out and am almost always locked up in the house.

Hi ...I sometimes feel moody when its cloudy and raining ...strangely not when its cold .....maybe I have a disorder or some deficiency....ofcourse it could all be in my mind !

I is fact that many people suffering form Seasonal affected disorder. I am also suffering from the Seasonal affected disorder. I feel many problem at the time seasonal changes or fluctuation of temperature irregularly. I generally attacked by the cough and cold and some times i suffering form the fever due to seasonal changes. I know to know is there any thinks which can prevent this type of seasonal affected disorder.

When its summer, im in such a better mood all the time! But when its winter i just feel really bogged down and bleurgh... So yeah, the weather really really does affect me! I lived in the middle east for 3 years, and found that the hot weather gave me a far more positive mood... But when it was too hot (45-50 celcius!) I got really lethargic then too...

yes, sometimes the weather affects my mood and can get its toll on my productivity. i just find some ways to bring my focus on other things. :)

There seems to be some correlation between the weather and a person's mood. But for me, it's not really the weather, in the strict sense of the word, that affects me. It's actually the temperature. Like when it's hot and humid, I get a little cranky. (Well, I think a lot of us do.) But when it's cooler, even if it's raining, I've noticed that I feel uppity. Probably it's an unconscious method of fighting the lethargic feeling that coldness and dampness usually bring about.

Weather affect us a lot and it affects everybody right from children to young ones. whenever it changes, we have got cold, fever, allergies, etc. I cannot say that there is proper treatment of it. As much as you take precautions from weather changing problems, you cannot prevent yourselves from these seasonal affected disorder.

Hello leigh, Welcome to Mylot! Yes, The weather does affect me a lot and it takes a great deal for me to settle myself to the changing weather every now and then. This makes me feel really sensitive and I always look like I'm not that strong and all! My mood keeps fluctuating every minute and this is something that sometimes worry me also! Its always between being grey to red. Nothing that pleasant about this swings in the mood! I even feel a lot lethargic too! I hope I could be a little more strong about this weather! Cheers! Good Luck!

I think when I was younger the weather affected me more. Now I don't think it has much of a change in my mood besides things like heavy snow where it is hard to drive to work.
