Stress. Mood Swings. The "Blues." With the holidays upon
us, for many it is a time for family, friends, good cheer,
and for some the holiday blues. As disheartening as it is,
many people are forced to cope with periods of grief, sadness,
or disappointment during the holiday season. Feelings of sadness
are common during this time of year, but not inevitable. For
those suffering it can feel impossible to "shake off" the
melancholy. But, do not lose hope. There are a number of things
you can do to keep the sadness at bay. Here are a few tips
to help you cope with those unwanted feelings:
- Identify what triggers your feelings of grief. Once you can pin point what is making you feel this way (family, finances, etc.) you can start overcoming it.
- Recognize your feelings. Don't try to hide your feelings behind smoke and mirrors. It is important that you acknowledge your emotions. You can't help that you feel a certain way, but you can accept the sentiments exist and start making steps to feeling better.
- Avoid "letting yourself go." For many once the holiday season rolls around it becomes an excuse to eat, drink and be merry to the extreme. Though it may feel good initially, overindulgence typical adds to the stress of the season. It may also contribute to your emotional state. Guilt and regret can way heavy on a person, kicking them into a state of unhappiness. So exercise control, resist temptation and eat and drink in moderation. Come January you'll be happy you did.
- Talk to a health care professional. If despite your best efforts to remain upbeat this holiday season, you still find yourself feeling down for a sustained period of time, get help and talk to your doctor.
