New Year

Kate Kestrel

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

  • I found the period between Boxing Day and New Years day a bit hard this year - it just seemed flat and dull, I had some intrusive thoughts and a few nights when I didn't sleep well. But today I've been planning getting out over the next couple of days and that's made me feel a bit more normal. I'm also now feeling happy that I'm retired and don't have to go back to work tomorrow - hurrah! Blush

    Yes - I don’t go out to work - but my husband does and I miss him when he goes back. I woke up early this morning and started thinking about stuff as I lay there - that started a bit of a downhill spiral! I should have got straight up and done something rather than lying there ruminating. I think I might get up early tomorrow and go straight out for an early morning walk.
