Holiday Blues
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Whenever I return from holiday within 24/48 hours I go into a very downward spiral.
I am retired have a fantastic wife no financial worries and yet coming home just seems to trigger the black dog.
I basically go to bed for 3/4 days. Don’t do anything other than pull up the blankets.
Does anyone else get this and do you have any coping strategies.
