New Year

Does anyone else find New Years Day really hard? I’ve had a really nice Christmas, felt good, and then suddenly waking up this morning on New Years Day I feel absolutely terrible - I feel so hopeless about the future and so deeply depressed. I’ve never munched like New Years Eve/Day as I’m a worrier and often feel a bit doom laden about the future. But it’s hit me like a truck today. If anyone else experiences this what do you do to try to lift yourself out of it? Thanks

  • Excellent to see you Kate.

    I share the issues you speak of.  I find "doing" and instigating "movement" the most essential things that I must do to prevent descent and stagnation (and "dooming") about the undeniably bleak feel I sense about the future - both immediate and short term.  Jobs are getting done....mindless or otherwise......simply to keep my mind away from negative rumination.   I need to busy on a day like today.

    FYI.....your presence here is good for my mood....so thank you.
