Blue Monday might feel worse this year while we deal with a pandemic, lockdowns and parents trying to work from home and homeschooling.
OXFORD COUNTY - If your feeling a little depressed today, you are not alone.
The third Monday in January is known as Blue Monday and is often referred to as the most depressing day of the year. A lot of people suffer from what is known as the Winter Blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Blue Monday is often considered the most depressing day of the year.
Weather, debt from Christmas and low motivational levels are all reasons why today is considered Blue Monday. It might feel even worse this year while we deal with a pandemic, lockdowns and parents trying to work from home while homeschooling their children.
CMHA Oxford does offer a number of tips on ways you can help to improve your mood and beat those winter blues. Simple things like exercise, eating healthy, getting more sunlight, and getting outside for a walk can help.
CMHA also has a number of resources for anyone struggling with depression right now. You can follow them on Facebook online here. Reach Out is a 24 hour, 7 day a week service available for those experiencing distress. The number to call is 1-866-933-2023. or online at reachout247.ca.
