Here it comes, folks, the Most Depressing Day of the Year
January 24
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

However, when I wrote about this last year, I received one email from a distressed young man who thought my bringing it up was "really depressing," and it was "all nonsense" and he "didn't feel that way."

I think there may be some over-compensation and denial there, i.e., someone who over-reacts, getting depressed at the thought of getting depressed sort of thing. For most of us, there are some down times, and we learn to get through a bad afternoon, or even a whole crummy day. Developing your emotional intelligence helps with this tremendously, of course. There's nothing worse than just feeling an overall angst and not being able to name it, claim it, and therefore, tame it.

For many people, much of the time, mild depression, the sort we get from time-to-time can be assuaged by knowing about it, developing emotional intelligence, getting some brisk exercise, sticking to or returning to some kind of sensible health regime, including a good nutraceutical this time of year, and, well, just common sense. Perspective and sense of humor help too. I'd give a Most Depressing Day of the Year party if I had the energy. (That's a joke!)

Distraction works well too. I went to college in Minnesota, and so many of the kids had trouble at the end of January, they instigated a "winter break." It felt to me like the cure for a sore finger is to poke yourself in the eye with a stick. The kids who lived nearby went home and had fun, I fantasized, or at least got to be with loved ones, while (grump, whine) those of us who lived too far away (airfare being far more prohibitive than it is today) hung around the dorm with nothing to do thinking maybe those cancelled classes weren't so awful after all.

The antidote, someone said, is salt -- tears, sweat or the sea. (The antidote to what? Well, you know, just THINGS.) If you can't be on a cruise January 24th, you can immerse yourself in work (it's a Tuesday this year), or put on a Verdi area and shed a few tears, and last it out, knowing it's temporary.

Another thing you can do is work on your thoughts and self-talk. Like, if this is the most depressing day of the year, then any other day of the year is going to be better, and that's something to look forward to!

Use your EQ smarts and plan ahead. It's probably not going to be a great day, okay, and it's going to be especially rough on those who don't have much self-awareness. Schedule a massage, call your coach, have a good book handy, book some time with a kid or a dog, and smile!
