Have you ever wondered why your appetite surges whenever winter arrives, and why your body keeps gaining weight? Then in summer, your appetite suddenly disappears, leaving you drained of energy. You might blame yourself, thinking you simply lack willpower, but this is actually a natural seasonal signal sent by your body.

Experiencing the autumn blues? Do you think it is just because you are an emotional person? Could it be that you are blaming yourself without realizing it might actually be an illness? The emptiness and lethargy you feel may not be just a passing emotion. Our bodies are far more sensitive to natural changes than you might think.

Do you find yourself chanting “It is dangerous outside the blanket” like a habit, while feeling your body grow heavy all winter long? Waking up in the morning feels like a battle, and throughout the day you lack motivation and feel completely drained. Does it feel as though a low-battery notification is flashing all day, just like a depleted smartphone?

When the cold winter arrives, many people find it hard to step out from under the blankets, feel constantly drowsy, and become melancholic for no clear reason. If you have ever wondered whether you are hibernating, that might actually be an SOS signal sent by your body.

When the cold wind begins to blow and the leaves start falling, do you find yourself feeling strangely empty inside, craving warm, sweet carbs like bread, tteokbokki, or rice? If you were worried that you were the only one feeling this way, you are definitely not alone.

As the cool breeze blows and the leaves turn red in autumn, most people have remarked at least once that they are feeling the autumn blues. Have you ever wondered if you were the only one quietly feeling hollow and down without any clear reason? Today, we explore what lies behind this melancholy that so many experience in autumn, guided by Donguibogam.
