It all depends on the type of rain, and the mood you're in when you wake up. Thunderstorms aren't depressing, fr'instance. They scare the crap out of me, and are basically the most awesome thing ever when you get caught in them, and either way are full of adrenaline rush. Soft grey rain, the kind that gives you pounding in your head and milky-white skies - that can be depressing. But its nice to cuddle up to someone/thing (like a welcoming cat) on those kinds of days.

The worst is depressing boring rain when you're supposed to be outside having fun.

I'd have to agree with you and Eddie Rabbit's song in that regard;
" ... love to hear the thunder;
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky.
You know it makes me feel good."

Negative ions engendering a 'positive' feeling ... who'd have thought a minus could be a plus?

Yes I do It gets very gloomy out but I would rather have ran than snow. Snow depresses me more. How many people agree with me? Raise your hands. :thumbsup:

Humm I wonder why people would feel depressed when it rains.. maybe because it slows their pace down and causes them to think about things. When out and about on a sunny day time slips by and possiably things werent really pondered about though out the day but tucked away. But even if that is the case remedy should be contemplated about concerning the matter and faith in God and the reading of His word should cause the atmosphere to change. I love the rain, its soothing.

I don't know about that whiskey, but I am never depressed on a rainy day. It does slows things down a bit but that is ok too.

I suppose rainy days can possibly get depressed, but I also can get this way in any weather conditions. I suppose I'm a little sensitive as well with people around me. If other people are generally gloomy this can affect my own mood.

I love rainy days. I don't get depressed at all. Now if it is a storm and things are flying all over the place, then I get mad. I have known people who get depressed on rainy days. They stay home and would not go anywhere. I tried to lift up one of buddies, but he was so depressed that would not leave his bed. At that time he has broken up with his girlfriend and I thought that was it.No, it eas raining. Every mind is a whole different world. That's why we are humans and not robots or machines. We have feelings and sometimes we react to certain events that happen in our daily life. Don't get depressed get happy.

No, no, no, no, no.  I love rain.  When it rains I want to open my windows and experience it with
all my senses.

The part of the country I live in we have so few rainy days that they are always a delight.  And we only seem to have thunder and lighting about 1 every other year or so.  When I lived in Southwestern Colorado..that area has the most fantastic thunder and lighting storms.  I think if it rained as much as Seattle type areas, the rain could get you down, I have to see sunshine often!  LOL :fish:

I love rainy days.  It's very relaxing to sit and listen to raindrops on the roof.

Now if it rains several days in a row, then that can be a little depressing because you can't get out the house to do anything.

I used to dread rainy days when I was younger.  The older I get the more I seem to appreciate them.  As long as the grocery shopping is done....the evenings don't aren't jam packed with kids activities and it's not an icy cold rain.  Kinda funny that I have a certain criteria in mind to enjoy rainy days.

Can't say I get depressed on rainy days.  Thunderstorms energize me - love 'em!  Typical rain showers either make me want to take a nap or motivate me to clean the house.  I also look forward to going outside after the rain as everything appears brighter or "cleaner".  Love the smell of the air after a good rain shower.

I like the rain for a couple weeks after summer has come to an end but that is about it. I could do without the next 9 months of constant rain it does depress me and I feel like there is much less that I can do when it rains. I really like working on my garden and bbqing outside but I only really can for a couple months a year.

Kind of funny because I came from Wisconsin and it seemed to be overcast from September first through May thirtieth every year...could this have tied into Wisconsin having the highest rate of depression and alcoholism?  It might have been tied to Wisconsin having one of the highest tax rates (number three in the country when I lived there).  Or maybe it was because people stayed  inside all day, drinking, and thinking about their taxes? LOL  I happen to love a rainy day every once and awhile.  Today, for instance, I don't have to cut the lawn and I don't feel guilty or bad about sitting in a movie theater!  Make lemonade!

No they do not depress me.

As i have gotten older i love cloudy,overcast days.I think there is a certain serenity to them.I really got to hate the heat and the way the sun feels when its hot outside.I live in NY and we recently had a terrible heat that just drains you.Someone mentioned Oregon here.I think i might be a good candidate to live in the Pacific Northwest.But i dont want rain all the time either.

No, though they do annoy me at times.  Mostly when I'm driving to work and it's drizzling until I get there, then it starts to pour.  But mostly I just view rain as something necessary that's good for plants.  No one wants a drought, after all.

No way!  Rainy days lead to greener grass! Rainy days give you an excuse to go shopping with the kids, out to eat with your significant other, go shopping with the family, sit inside and play board games, go work out...the list goes on!  I don't feel guilty about working when it is gray and rainy.  I have read, however, that rainy overcast days do lead to depression.  When I lived in Wisconsin I wouldn't see the sun from September first through May Thirtieth and there was a higher incidence of depression in that state.  I think that all is in the perception.

I love the rain I could live were it rained everyday all day.

 Tropical storm Debby is depressing me right now.  Rain and wind for days - but fortunately the serious stuff is not in my location.  Just the RAIN

No, I welcome the rainy day as long as there aren't too many of them! Even better are the rainy nights accompanied by thunder and lightning.
