Feeling down? You’re not alone — this is officially the most depressing day of the year, and there’s even an equation to explain why.
Today, Jan. 16 — the third Monday of the month — is known as Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. Linked with post-holiday blues along with cold nights, short days and unpaid credit card bills, today feels like one giant post-holiday hangover
The term Blue Monday was coined by Dr. Cliff Arnall, a psychologist for Cardiff University in London, when he was commissioned in 2005 by PR company Sky Travel to do research on holiday moods as a publicity campaign.
Arnall compiled an equation finding that weather, debt, time, Christmas, and New Year’s resolutions result in low motivational levels, the International Business Times reports.
