Gloomy and Rain

"GLOOMY" is a word that can be interpreted to describe that someone is feeling sadness, anxiety, confusion, and doubt. Confusion itself is a normal thing that can be felt by anyone, including me. Usually the word "GLOOMY" is often associated with "RAIN", because there are several reasons including identical rain with longing and memories, it can be felt by anyone who has ever fallen in love. Why is rain so identical to gloomy?
Sometimes the sound of falling raindrops can make a person feel scared and cause anxious feelings about something. That is why feelings of missing or needing someone arise when it rains. Actually it depends on someone, sometimes someone will welcome the rain very happily, because some people think that rain can relieve stress and there are also those who greet it with sadness and even excessive confusion, because they are reminded by memories of the rain.
Actually, rain and gloomy have a relationship that can be proven scientifically through psychology. Quoted from solopos.com, the results of research conducted in Europe and the USA stated that there is a popular psychological phenomenon called seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD is a change in a person's mood, this condition is known as "Winter Blues". That feeling of confusion comes especially when someone is in the room when it is cloudy and rainy. The body, especially the eyes, get less light so that it stimulates the brain to produce the hormone melatonin. This hormone makes a person easily sleepy, daydreaming, and feels sad.
During the rainy season there are several fun activities that can be done, for example watching movies (don't watch movies that make you feel even more upset), listening to music that can make you feel good, cooking, and playing games with friends and even family. Actually, the key to making us feel too gloomy due to rain is to stay active or interact with other people (for example, family at home).
