I don't know if any of you feel this way but now that the holidays are ending and its about time for me to go back to work I am feeling a lot of anxiety and i'm not even sure why, I've been feeling a bit down these past couple of days. Is there a such thing as post-holiday blues?

YES!!!

I get it every freakin' year, and I'm stuck in it right now.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I've never really had it too bad until this year. Boy is it frustrating. Maybe once I get back into the groove of things I'll feel different, i hope.

I find it's kinda hard going back to work because everyone talks about what they did, what they got, and I sit there hoping they don't ask about mine. Then I wonder do I lie and say "It was ok." and leave it at that with them wondering why the hell I don't go into details about what I did, or do I tell them the truth and be a guy that brings the mood down, tell them I did nothing and got nothing for Christmas, not even a call.

Before Christmas, I was bragging that for the first time in my life, I had a good attitude. Then Christmas came and I felt terrible. The stress of the holidays is almost more than I can handle. I think I'm joining the rest of you in announcing Post Traumatic Holiday Stress!
