Why depression overcomes after New Year holidays: psychologists named the reasons
Many people have at least once encountered a situation in which, after the New Year holidays, a feeling of depression and despondency suddenly began to overcome them.
Why does this happen? Most often, the reason lies in inflated expectations from the holiday - we want to feel joy and fun, which do not always come.
Besides, holiday preparations usually take a lot of energy.
Fatigue, in turn, does not contribute to an improvement in mood and a feeling of euphoria.
How to cope with depression
To help your depression go away, first give yourself a chance to rest.
Ask your loved ones to help you with cleaning your apartment and other household chores.
Next, satisfy your body's needs. For example, instead of public meetings, choose a good, deep sleep and the necessary privacy.
In addition, you should do things that are guaranteed to bring you pleasure and a lot of pleasant feelings. This can be either an exciting hobby or watching your favorite movies.
