Why the holiday blues appear and how to deal with them: a psychiatrist's comment
Not everyone experiences a sense of joy and pleasant anticipation during the pre-holiday days. Many face disappointment, stress and loneliness.
But there are ways to help deal with such negative emotions.
Psychiatrist Neha Chaudhary spoke about this in more detail, writes CNN .
The doctor noted that the feeling of loneliness is disturbing because people remember those with whom they cannot meet during the holidays.
In addition, the feeling of isolation of single people increases when everyone around them is planning family gatherings and large celebrations.
It is possible to overcome this feeling.
To do this, you need to acknowledge the problem and allow it to manifest itself.
Soon the feeling of sadness will begin to subside.
But at the same time, you need to clearly identify the reason for your sadness.
It wouldn't hurt to talk to yourself and remind yourself that it's normal to grieve.
At the same time, you shouldn’t compare yourself with anyone or watch what’s happening on social networks.
If you are bothered by anger and irritation during the holidays, you should discuss this problem with others to remove negative emotions. You can write down your grievances on paper, but you don’t have to send such a letter.
Chaudhary also added that one should not blame oneself for being in a bad mood during the New Year holidays. It is better to devote time to rest.
If you can’t get rid of melancholy, it’s better to seek help from a specialist.
