Today’s the saddest day of the year

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – If you’re feeling a little down today, there’s a good explanation.  Today is known as Blue Monday.  The day experts are calling the “saddest day of the year.”

The third Monday after Christmas is considered the saddest day of the year because people are feeling bad about their holiday debt levels and they’re struggling to keep their New Year’s resolutions.  Another problem is the lack of sunlight we get at this time of year.

One woman we spoke with says the dark, cold days make her feel like more like it’s a blue winter.  “Every Monday sucks, let’s face it.  But this Monday, I’m feeling OK.”

We also chatted with some local university students who are counting down the days until Easter long weekend.

Mental health professionals say to stave off bad feelings it’s recommended you exercise more, eat well and keep alcohol to a minimum.
