    DOES THE WEATHER AFFECT YOUR MOOD?

    Does anybody else here find that the weather and / or the time of year affects there mood??

    I always feel so much worse in winter. Rainy days, dark nights and lack of sunshine get me so down.

    Come the summer I find that my mood lifts and I actually enjoy getting up in the morning.

    Hiya Diane,

    I believe there is a name for this Seasonal A(/) Disorder (SAD) so it must be quite common.

    Have you investigated getting your light box yet??

    Nice Things About Winter

    Lying in bed at night and listen to the wind and rain on your window and you are warm and cosy!!

    Coming in from the cold and having a warm cup of tea

    Snowball fights (or is that just me?)

    If I think of any more I will let u know!!!

    Love
    Lucky

    Yes the weather definitely has a negative/positive effect on me.

    I was really struggling to understand how I'd slipped a bit at my last CBT, then Amanda pointed out that we had suddenly lost the sun, and a lot of people do find their symptoms are worse during the winter.

    Then I didn't feel like I was loosing it again, and feel much better now!

    Don't think that I have SAD, but definitely feel better on cold sunny days. Particularly cold, snowy sunny days! Roll on the winter so I can get my tin tray out

    I love the winter it is so cosy. Being warm inside when its cold out and hearing the rain at night on the window.

    Log fires at my mums cottage and a good excuse to drink loads -you have to keep warm![}]

    I am not a winter person but for me it does have some benefits. I am always too warm in the summer and it is much easier to get warm than it is to get cool. My aerobics classes are much better in the winter cos I am not sweating so much after the 1st 5 minutes of doing it!

    The downfalls are coming out of the swimming pool with wet hair (yes I know I should dry it) and feeling freezing cold. I hate driving in the snow, sleet, rain etc and I seem to leave for work in the dark and get home when it is dark.

    Roll on the spring.

    Bryan - you remind me of someone I know - he goes into hibernation over winter and won't even have sex with anyone till the next spring (glad I am not with him - lol)
