Most people automatically assume that one has to hit the ball harder when going into the wind, and that is a falsehood. You do not want the ball to rise high into the wind with spin, and that is what happens when you hit it hard. So what actually suffers, in addition to your mental state, is the ball will be harder to control; plus your accuracy will go down the drain. What you want to do is make the ball closer to your stance by about a couple inches. Also, you want to make sure your hands are kept forward. So for your club in this situation, you'll want to use one that is longer than usual. Do not hit the ball harder, rather hit it just as you would without the wind.

There are a range of effects including hitting the ball just a little distance with too much height - head's up! You can avoid the pain of seeing the ball go fairly straight - only up, and then gravity takes over and it comes straight down, head's up again!

Be sure you swing at it easier than normal when it's windy. You can produce negative effects on your ball trajectory by hitting too hard when it's windy. "Swing easy into the breezy" is the battle cry of Greg Norman - pro golfer extraordinaire. It absolutely seems to make good sense that one needs to hit harder into the wind.
