A combination of factors, including post-Christmas debt and sullen British weather, make today the most depressing of the year
If you were feeling a little gloomy when you woke up this morning, don't be too alarmed - today is statistically the most depressing day of the year.
A combination of factors, including post-Christmas debt and sullen British weather, make today worse than any other day, say psychologists.
The annual mood-killer, dubbed 'Blue Monday', tends to fall on the third Monday of January as the New Year cheer wears off and the comforting warmth of summer seems like a very distant prospect.
The top three techniques which work best to lift your mood on this most miserable of days are: helping someone in need, receiving a compliment out of the blue and listening to the sound of the sea, according to a survey commissioned by charity ActionAid.
The charity is hosting a 'Happy Bubble' in London's Finsbury Avenue Square today to help beat the blues.
Two giant, heated bubbles will be filled with space hoppers, and free massages and other fun items will be free for the public between 7am - 7pm.
