If you've been surrounded by bad energy recently, and it seems to be building, we now have a formula from a researcher to explain why: January 24 is the peak of an accumulation of things we hate: foul weather, debt, fading holiday memories, failed resolutions and a lack of motivation in general.

In my part of the country, you can throw in allergens. It's cedar time in south Texas and we are topping the list of cities in the nation on Pollen.

And for some reason the researcher didn't factor in "illness." It's the peak of the cold and flu season. Allergens, bacteria and viruses assault our immune systems which makes us sick, and also over-reactive emotionally. Being emotionally over-reactive, down, and having low mental energy, in turn assaults our immune systems. What a nasty feedback loop.

"It's too cold to go for a walk," we say, and then get depressed about that; and being depressed, we lack the energy to bundle up and get the exercise, or even to drive to the gym.

What's happening here? There's also SAD -- in many parts of this hemisphere, it's dark for long hours, and we aren't getting enough of the kind of bright sunlight we need. SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder and you can read about it here. With increased hours of darkness, we produce too much melatonin, a sleep-related hormone thought to be associated with depression. Whatever it is, we go to work in the dark and we come home in the dark; isn't that enough??

It's a full month since that cozy warm holiday-time, and Valentine's Day is looming on the horizon. With nearly 50% of the adults in the US divorcing (and single), that's not the thing to look forward to it used to be, but more of a reminder of what many consider failure.

What else has failed? Most New Year's resolutions have been broken by now.

It's depressing to write about this, and you may not like reading it, except that knowledge always allows us to cope. It also helps to normalize what you may be feeling. Does it help to know that everyone else is feeling the same way? It sure does to me, because it moves me from isolation to connection, and erases thoughts of my own foibles. It becomes a general mood, like the holiday spirit. In that sense I don't take it personal.
