Some people fall into a difficult emotional state before the holidays, similar to depression or depressive disorder. Psychologist Lyubov Krushinskikh reported this to Izvestia. The specialist listed the symptoms of New Year’s depression and told how to deal with this condition.
According to her, the problem is indicated by a lack of vitality, a low mood, a tendency to be alone, frustration, despair, mood swings and restless sleep. The expert noted that depression most often occurs when a person spends a lot of strength and energy to achieve any goals, but he does not like the result. Another cause of depression can be self-disappointment.
“Before the New Year, it is customary to sum up the results, especially recently:“ What have I achieved this year? ”This is done by most companies and organizations. For some, this has a positive effect: it motivates them to work even harder, helps the emergence of new ideas. But sometimes such competition plunges a person into a state of disappointment in himself, ”explained Krushinskikh.
In this regard, the psychologist advises to devote the holidays to recovery. In her opinion, you need to accept and let go of what cannot be changed. She also recommends that you enjoy the little things as children. “Discover little things for yourself and rejoice like children: go ice skating and skiing, smell tangerines and cinnamon, cook all sorts of goodies and treat your neighbors – there will be a reason to get to know each other, because New Year is a holiday of childhood,” concluded the psychologist.
