January is most depressing month
From the BBC:
If you're feeling down at the moment it's not your fault because January is the most depressing month of the year.
That's according to a psychologist from Cardiff University who came up with a complicated formula to work it out. And Monday 24 January is the worst day of all because by then your Christmas holidays have worn off and you've probably broken any resolutions too.
Dr Arnalls says doing something like saving for a specific thing you really want might help beat the blues.
His formula includes things like how bad the weather is, how much you spent over Christmas and when your next lot of pocket money is coming.
Failure to quit a bad habit and not wanting to do very much at all also contribute to feeling bad at this time of year.

I try to spend time under a very bright lamp this time of year, but it doesn't help. It's still really cold outside :)
