Congratulations, today has been officially crowned the most depressing day of the year (because January needed another reason to be dramatic).
Blue Monday exists because the holidays are over, it’s still dark at 4 p.m., your bank account is judging you, and that “new year, new me” energy has already called in sick. Science? Debatable. Mood? Nailed it.
This is the day when motivation is gone, jeans feel like a personal attack, and the idea of a salad feels wildly offensive. Even your coffee is tired.
The good news? Blue Monday isn’t a real medical thing, it’s more of a vibe-based warning. If you’re feeling blah today, congratulations, you’re experiencing January correctly.
So be gentle. Wear sweatpants. Lower expectations. Celebrate small victories, like answering one email or not yelling at your alarm.
And remember: if today is the most depressing day of the year… then tomorrow is already an improvement.
