Blue Moon! Why is today the saddest day of the year?

Blue Monday is often defined as “the saddest day of the year” and usually falls on the third Monday of January. This idea has spread widely in the media and social networks, becoming a familiar term for many people around the world.

The origin of Blue Monday is linked to a formula created years ago, which claimed to combine several factors that affect a person's emotional state. These include the cold and gloomy weather of winter, the lack of sunlight, the end of the holiday season, the return to the daily routine of work or school, and the pressure to fulfill promises and goals set for the new year.

According to this theory, all of these elements come together in a single point in mid-January, creating a feeling of fatigue, sadness, and lack of motivation. However, experts emphasize that this formula has no scientific basis and is not supported by serious studies in the field of psychology or mental health.

In reality, people's emotional state is much more complex and is influenced by various individual factors, such as personal circumstances, mental health, social support and lifestyle. Therefore, the idea that there is a single day that is sadder than others for all people is considered simplistic and inaccurate.

Today, Blue Monday is seen more as an opportunity to open discussions about mental well-being. It serves as a reminder to normalize difficult emotions, to accept that feelings of fatigue, sadness, or lack of motivation are a normal part of life, especially after a period of holidays and change.

Experts advise that this day be used to pay more attention to yourself, to listen to personal needs, to maintain social contacts and to seek professional or family support when necessary. Mental health care, according to them, should not be limited to a single day, but should be an ongoing process throughout the year.

Blue Monday is not necessarily the “sadest day of the year,” but an important reminder to reflect on how we feel and to put mental well-being at the center of our attention.
