Lots of people seem to be talking about 'Blue Monday' - the third Monday of January and the most depressing day of the year. Apparently.

Well, our YouTube team are not convinced..

As Becki says in the video, we know that while some months might be harder than others, people suffer from depression every day of the year. So we've come up with 8 tips to keep the blues at bay:



Can you think of any other little things that might help?

And for bonus points, help us think of an alternative name for today! The video covered quite a few (I quite like Hugh (Grant) Monday). Can you think of any others?

This thread was great to see and made me smile!Every day feels like it has some depressing parts to me(I am diagnosed with MH ISSUES)so it didnt really make much difference to me that it is known as :Blue Monday".

I don't do anytjing of those things!....

Hey AngelFace,

Glad you liked the video
Though sorry to hear that every day has its depressing parts for you - that sounds like it must be quite hard?

It's interesting that you don't do any of the things listed in the picture. Do you think if you tried some of them it would help?
