Today is the most depressing day of the year.
Apparently this has been a thing since the mid 2000s when a travel company came up with it for an ad campaign. And it’s always been the third Monday in January.
They used some weird formula that uses factors like weather, post-December stress, holiday debt, failed New Year’s resolutions and it just being a Monday.
There’s no real mental health evidence for this being true, but January and February do tend to make people to lose the pep in their step.
