why do i feel depressed everytime it rains?I feel there's looming danger and i get anxious or fearful.?

Answer 1

It's the low air pressure. It makes many people (and animals) feel anxious. Also, certain bacteria flourish in low air pressure and humidity - maybe you are even getting a mild dose of some bug, if you are very sensitive to it.

I find it hard to believe it's connected to a mood disorder or trauma, if you are otherwise a happy and well-adjusted person.

Answer 2

Maybe you have SAD but that takes a Professional to determine that you have ALL the symptoms of that disorder so you cannot self-diagnose or anything but maybe not...feeling that way in poor weather is quite the norm and can mean nothing but that ultimately you hate that kind of weather.

Well, there's a scientific reason for this. Insufficient exposure to sunlight has been associated with low levels of melatonin and serotonin, abnormalities of cortisol, carbohydrate craving, weight gain, and sleep disturbance... "

Answer 3

What you're describing could be more of a phobia.
Phobias are caused by a traumatic incident that we're trying to suppress and in the course of that turn into fear.
Take comfort that you're not alone in this condition.
That there's help out there to cure this.
Consult a professional.
It could be that there's a lack of dopamine activity in your neurosystem.

Answer 4

sounds like you have a touch of S.A.D.S. ...My guess is that you may have a chemical imbalance and need some seritonium. Some people are very sensitive to the effects of the sun. Sun is out and you feel ok ,sun is not out and you feel depressed. About the anxiety, has something happened to you on a gloomy day in the past that triggers the sense of fear? Maybe a doctor could help you ar a counseler.

Answer 5

You could very well have a disorder called Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Seasonal affective disorder (also called SAD) is a type of depression that follows the seasons. The most common type of SAD is called winter depression. It usually begins in late fall or early winter and goes away by summer. A less common type of SAD, known as summer depression, usually begins in the late spring or early summer. It goes away by winter. SAD may be related to changes in the amount of daylight during different times of the year

As many as half a million people in the United States may have winter depression. Another 10% to 20% may experience mild SAD. SAD is more common in women than in men. Although some children and teenagers get SAD, it usually doesn't start in people younger than 20 years of age. For adults, the risk of SAD decreases as they get older. SAD is more common in northern geographic regions

How does my doctor know I have SAD?
Although your symptoms are clues to the diagnosis, not everyone with SAD has the same symptoms. Common symptoms of winter depression include the following:

A change in appetite, especially a craving for sweet or starchy foods
Weight gain
A heavy feeling in the arms or legs
A drop in energy level
Fatigue
A tendency to oversleep
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Increased sensitivity to social rejection
Avoidance of social situations
Symptoms of summer depression include poor appetite, weight loss and insomnia. Either type of SAD may also include some of the symptoms that are present in other forms of depression. These symptoms include feelings of guilt, a loss of interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy, ongoing feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such as headaches.

Symptoms of SAD keep coming back year after year, and they tend to come and go at about the same time every year. The changes in mood are not necessarily related to obvious things that would make a certain season stressful (like regularly being unemployed during the winter).

Seek help from a certified professional and a supportive network will do wonders to help you relieve the symptoms of SAD. Best of luck with your endeavours.

That sucks, dude. I'm not sure why it happens, but I hear it's quite common. Maybe your doctor can prescribe an antidepressant. I, myself, personally love rain and cloudy weather. I love snow and cold, and gloomy weather. I simply think it's beautiful, but, that's not the norm. My brother and sister are like you. They say what helps somtimes is to try and think of it as "beatiful weather instead of ugly weather. " And also listen to the song, "Beautiful Day" by U2. Then take deep breaths and try to relax....

Next time when it rains, think of the dancing flowers and trees that crave for the thirst of rain. Listen to some high spirited music to go with the beat and rhythm of raindrops.

eg. music from "The Sound of Music" sung by Julie Andrews; music for the Mozart Effect "Unlock the Creative Spirit" by Don Campbell.
