After a month of celebrations, indulgence, and gift-giving, the return to routine in January can feel overwhelming.

Financial stress, shorter days, dark mornings and colder weather can often take a toll on our mental health.

But here’s the thing, feeling low doesn’t follow a calendar.

Happy Blue Monday! πŸ’™ But is it really as blue as they say?

You’ve probably heard that today (the third Monday in January) is β€œthe most depressing day of the year.”

But here’s the truth: Blue Monday is a myth! It trivialises the real struggles faced by the 1 in 6 of us who live with depression.

For some women, Christmas isn’t the season of joy and New Year doesn’t mean new starts. It’s a time of fear.
