- Be warned. Today (Monday, Jan. 24th) is going to be the most depressing day of the year.
By using a complex mathematical formula, psychologist Cliff Arnalls has calculated the misery is about to peak in four days' time.
Fading memories of Christmas, mounting festive debts, foul weather, failed New Year resolutions and the long, dark nights create the perfect mix for gloom, says the Cardiff University expert who specialises in seasonal disorders.

Where can this sage be found? My Voices tell me I must kill him immediately.
I thought I was feeling a little lowgy today.

Oh, no. We must sheepishly follow the guru.
Jeebus, edgar, you're just a shining beacon of enthusiasm.
I'm sending my unused Prozac out to you tomorrow via hotshot courier. Be sure and take double the recommended dosage.
I do what I can for humanity.
Wasn't the Inauguration on Thursday?
First thing I thought of...
See, I find this oddly uplifting. I'm definitely deep in winter doldrums, and it's nice in a way to think it's a mathematically inescapable! Everyone's depresssed! :-D
This is great news! I like the fact that my worst day of the year will soon be over. For the rest of the year I can say "Whew! Today was difficult, but not nearly as bad as my worst day of the year back in January!"
See folks. it's a good thing!
I have never been depressed in my life.
Is there something wrong with me?
that swamp water must have lithium in it.
Or maybe I'm not old enough to have reached the depression stage of life.
When does that happen?
The eternal optimist, Edgar sees the cup as half-full.
"The worst will soon be over!"
Despite all the potentialities of the remaining 341 days...
Down with down-ness, I say. Full speed ahead. Damn the torpedoes. You may fire when ready, Gridley.
Lovely morning. Just crawled out of my sleeping corner, looked out the window and -- behold! -- the world is a winter wonderland. It doesn't get any better than this.
Just 12 more minutes to go here. Nearly over! Phew!
Well, I can certainly vouch for it that today was one of the most awful days I have had in a long time!!
I am still reeling.
And - it is half an hour to the end of January 24 th here.
Mond you - the dqrkness thing doesn't apply here...
Hooray, it's over!!
A horrible day at work, Deb?
Stumble It!
