I now HATE rainy days.

Post Reply New Topic

Stormy, rainy weather was always as inconvenient and annoying to me as to most other people. (But, even so, I kinda like to hear a little thunder sometimes.) But that constant, unrelenting, drip-ping drip-ping rain, all day long, and all the next day, makes me wanna literally get on a freakin' plane and fly somewhere sunny at that very moment -- because gray, wet weather REALLY depresses me. (Especially when I'm sick with a cold or whatever, which I am right now.) During long, rainy days or weeks, I feel like I'm trapped in a gray bubble of gloom, and it's a more intense feeling lately. And I cheer up the moment I see the sun! I've just never been quite this affected by the weather before, where I literally have HATRED for rainy days. It used to be just annoyance. It's like I want to say to the rain, "GET THE F**K OFF MY EMOTIONS!!" (I'd probably only feel that strongly when sick, but still, I've come to hate the rain anytime.)

Can anyone relate to this?

I'm sorry you are having a bad day. I sort of like rainy days though. It's that "certain slant of light" kind of thing. They remind me of when I was little, safe and warm and dry inside the house or car with my grandmother. Those days always felt so cozy to me. When my house is neat and clean like normal, I love rainy days. When it's a mess because I've been depressed and haven't done anything though, the rainy days make it worse. It's like they are rubbing it in.

Enjoy the song at least.

strange I love rainy days, I get grumpy when its "nice" for to long. As for the sound I find it pleasant as long as its constant. I loathe the sound of single drips on metal though...

I don't love or hate rainy days. I like the rain in the winter because usually it keeps the ground warm and makes the air milder - I do hate the snow. I also like it raining at night because I like to hear it tapping in the window (a lot of people who I know like this feeling). I don't mind stormy showers in the summer, but I don't like it when a whole day or week is nothing but rain in the summer.

I do like the rain, and I do love it in the winter, especially when it washes all the snow and ice away. That is a lovely feeling!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

Don't ever come to Seattle then.

It is always gray and drizzly. The rain doesn't even have the common decency of falling. It kind of just lingers in the air and waits for us to walk into it.

You should try light therapy.

I also don't care for the average rainy days. The rain constantly falls non stop and puts a damper on my mood. It's been raining all day long where I live and having to walk to the clubhouse in that rain put a damper on my whole day. That's why my posts seem a little off tonight. That and the fact that the older kids in my area are acting up and breaking into the buildings in my subsidized neighbourhood, again.

It rains in Texas??

Yeah, I second that suggestion about not visiting the Pacific NW. Unless it's summer...then it's gorgeous out here

I heard that the Pacific NW was overrun with sparkley vampires. Did they finally get problem taken care of? Do they spray for them or what? Sparkley vampires are just too pretentious for my tastes, I'd rather have the humidity and mosquitoes of the Deep South than deal with a swarm of them.

Thanks. I actually have that song, but hadn't heard it in quite a while, so I played it.

That makes me feel better. The saying about Texas is, "If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes." It doesn't change that fast usually, but it often changes fairly fast. I guess that's why I get so down when it stays rainy for a long time. BTW, I actually recognized your latitude/longitude coordinates, because I have a flight simulator demo that only has Seattle. (X-Plane)

Snows, too. The cars were sliding all over the road last winter for a couple weeks. What was really odd, though, was that, not only did it snow several times last winter in Dallas, and accumulate four or five inches, but it snowed and accumulated on March 21st. (I remember the exact day, because it was so late in the year for Northeast Texas snow.) And then, after that unusually-harsh winter (well, for Dallas anyway), we had the scorching summer that pretty much the whole country had. It was an extreme winter followed by a brutal summer that never wanted to end. Quite annoying indeed.



I'll bet it is. That would be neat to experience. I lived in northern Kentucky for four years, and it was a very pretty place. That's not exactly "The North", but it's a lot milder climate than Texas.

Oh, don't get me started on that. One word: stifling. I can't even think straight when it reads 98% humidity (or so), like it did two days ago. Then, just five hours later, it thankfully dropped to 37%, and I was feeling much better and more energetic before I even found out. Low humidity good, high humidity bad!

You know, I learned from the show "Dual Survivor" that you actually dehydrate several times faster in high humidity than in dry conditions, so you actually need to drink a lot more water when it's moist out. I think it's that drying-out feeling that annoys me. Plus, you can't even feel the air move when you walk in high humidity. Call me crazy, but I like feeling the air move when I walk. It helps me mentally dial-in to my environment. I have high body heat, so sitting in high humidity feels like I'm being baked.
