The holiday is the season to be joyful. However, many people feel sad or worried during or after holidays. When such feeling is connected only with holidays and doesn't happen at other times of the year, it's often called holiday blues(忧郁).
____This can be a result of money problems, extra activities, and stress around holidays. People can also have holiday blues for terrible relationships with family and being alone during the holidays. Much traffic jam around holidays can cause holiday blues, too.
Holiday blues can have you feeling like hiding instead of celebrating. They can also lead thinking patters(方式) that aren't helpful. For example, if you angrily shout at your kids, then you may think you're the worst mom. If you can't make cookies this year, you will think you're just not as nice as you used to be. If you make efforts to make money, you may feel you'll never be rich. So we shouldn't think little of holiday blues.
There are some very simple and useful ways to help people to deal with holiday blues. Start new traditions to your family. Don't be too hard on yourself. Take some time to volunteer. Take some time to take a bike ride, a relaxing walk, etc. Don't eat too much food — overeating can make your body sick and uncomfortable.
But if you have unshakable sadness or terribly hate eating, you may need to see a doctor. Let him check your degree of sadness or worries. Talking to someone may also help you feel better. But at other times you require medical treatment. Thus, you can shake the blues off and get back to the things about your life you do enjoy.
