Dont have time to feel like sh!t when you doing a very busy 12 hour shift. Christmas holidays? Dont get such a thing in some jobs.

If your gonna feel like **** then you'll feel like ****, work or no work. I'm busy all day with three young kids but still have time to feel like sh*t

Being back in work this morning actually made me feel worse. Fcuk the routine.

Sorry for the seasonal sadness, lukesmom. This has to be the most depressing time of the year (for me, anyway), with all the excitement for Christmas fizzled away, and a dull, dreary January looming on the horizon. You know what cheers me up though? Looking at holidays. I booked a long weekend away for Feb. There are sales on at the moment, maybe you and your husband could have a look at possibly heading away for a week in the sun at some stage next year? That always helps me anyway.

I too, love this week. Emptying the fridge. Watching films, drinking every day. Nabbed a few bargains - we don't do presents for each other so myself and the husband have been shopping for each other in the sales. Twice as much for the same price and we got what we wanted. I'm not back in till Monday. I saved my leave days up for it. It's just a nice unwind lazy together time. Life goes on hold for 10 days or so. I used to get down, but I just embrace it now for what it is. My tree will be up until Twelfth Night.

Yes, but It's just because I can sense January looming horribly just out of sight.

Agreed January is an abomination of a month. But I'll worry about it on the 5th

February doesn't exactly excite me either. Valentine's is a crock of shîte and due to adjusted pay dates this one will be a five-weeker. Yuk.

I felt like that yesterday so I decided to go for a long run and I felt much better....I hate the anti climax after Christmas but I still have New Years, my Mams birthday party and a trip to Euro Disney to help ease the ****tyness.

That thread was legendary.

Back to work today. 6am start. Was still sitting up at 3am as i just couldn't go to bed.

Got 1 hours sleep and as a result sat "doing work" at computer waiting for the clock to say 15.00 to get feck outta there.

Times like this i wish i was a child again.

I did a run too this morning in the frost. Was very erm "bracing" shall we say. But very pretty too. Need to get regular fresh air to sustain mind-health.

Back today after 4 days off. Depressing to say the least, I work outside too so the -5 at 8 o'clock this morning was not nice.

I wish humans could hibernate between January and April.

Booked flights to Sao Paulo earlier, so I guess that is some consolation.

Nice.

May I ask how much and with which airline?

I am there now, but will be coming back next December...looking for deals.

Lots of dodging involved, thankfully no slips

I've been very ill over Xmas, slept thru most of it, so dunno how I feel to be honest, work tomorrow though, may get me back into a routine

I was sick all Xmas Day. Ate hardly anything. I've actually lost weight this Xmas! \o/ So I feel quite happy myself.

apieceofcake

Have been sick since Christmas Eve and still not right, so I feel rubbish anyway!

I do agree though that it can be an anti-climax, but I'm just using these days to relax, watch all the Christmas TV that I missed and eat some Christmas food, because I've hardly eaten anything the past week (I couldn't even eat my Christmas dinner which would normally be unheard of)

Hope you feel back to yourself soon and best wishes for 2015.

Off topic, but there is a thread in bargain alerts about return flights to Buenos Aries for £275 if you're interested in that

Plus February is basically a winter month. It's on average colder than November. Feck, sometimes even March is colder than November.

I need to get out of the house tomorrow. Haven't gone anywhere since Christmas Eve! :eek:

I've been feeling particularly down the last few days. Christmas is over, it's dark and miserable all the time and a miserable January full of assignments and college exams looms ahead on the horizon. Next week, I'll go up to college on my own, do eight hour study days with little or no human contact and I know it's just going to be absolutely abysmal.

I find at this time of the year to avoid getting down, it's essential to maintain a proper diet, sleeping pattern and maintain contact with the outside world. So many people get holed up in their houses in front of the fire. That's nice for one or two days but it turns into hell after a while and you literally begin to crack up. I've found taking a walk in town and looking at the sales helpful.

I think a lot of people in Ireland suffer from seasonal affective disorder to some extent.

Is that an actual thing? I've always had a sneeking suspicion, but is there evidence to back it up that you know of Tarz?

I DID read it somewhere. And now I want to know where, because it's a few years ago now. So off I go to Pubmed, I used to know how look stuff up on that back when I was science scholar! :pac:

Planning the arse out of 2015 - whether I keep those plans is another thing entirely but it keeps me optimistic into the NY. I think making resolutions (realistic ones) is a good thing.

Ye but were over the shortest day of the year \o/

I wish I had work or a routine to get back to. I'm unemployed so all Christmas was for me was a more expensive, tinsle and light filled version of every other feckin day of the last few months.

eviltwin

I'm feeling quite down at the moment myself and then I remember from Monday I'm back to 6am starts in the freezing weather and I feel even worse. I wish I could just till February.

Mr_Muffin

2015 is going to be the worst year of my life I can feel it already. I'm looking forward to 2016.

I really sympathise. Xmas 2011 was my last unemployed Christmas. I was dreading January but I was also a bit nuts at that time and was doing up and submitting job applications all over Christmas. I remember doing one on Stephen's Day! I got that job.

Dirty Steve

I don't feel shít.

I felt shít yesterday and the day before after getting far, far, far too festive with a bottle of rum, but am all good now.

What a time to be alive!

Mr. McGreg

I know the feeling! Been very busy for the last few months in work, came home for Christmas at the parents house, all my siblings are away this year so I've been more or less on my own for the the last few days. It's a bit depressing tbh and I just want to get back to being busy which feels strange...

"Looking forward to getting back into routine to be honest."

This is such an Irish Mammy thing to say.....they just love routine!

yipeeeee

Ugh horrible night tremors and nightmares all night, woke up every 5 minutes from them, I guess that's the last of the alcohol leaving my symptom.

Off to work wrecked.

Climb a mountain and then if you're up for it, jump in a lake.

No offense to you but the answer to life's woes or feeling down isn't climbing an effing mountain or ****ing excercise.jesus every time someone says go for a walk it will make you feel better i want to throttle them.
It doesn't work for everyone.

I think it's ok to feel down. We aren't supposed to be all happy clappy all the time and when people try to do that they inevitably have the low feelings to follow

Like a boat on the sea it's got the ups and downs. Accept them, recognise them and them and try not to wallow in them.

Breakfast time. New dawn new day.

I hate the post Christmas feeling, don't even feel like turning the tree lights on now. The only thing that cheered me up today was seeing the buds of all the daffodils and tulips popping up...and the large vodka I'm guzzling as I type.

Give some of that vodka to the flowers and see how they grow

First ever Christmas in Ireland this year. Everybody is so pleasant around this time.

I am still grinning!
