it sounds tough to experinece that dip to bad feelings when you return from holidays - and it's totally okay. i think quite a few people feel like coming back is like a 'return to normal' and their typical routines and miss the happiness and escape a holiday provides.
i'd say its totally important to try and ignore people who dampen your mood - protecting how you feel is so important. there are lots of ways you could do this... whether it be surrounding yourself with people who make you feel good... or if a conversation starts to make you feel bad, finding a way to politely step away from it or change the topic. as for staying with a good level of happiness... for me i'd usually find things i enjoy doing and trying to fit them into my day. it's about finding ways that work for you!!
Have you got any ideas as to how you can protect your energy and happiness when you feel like this? or any hobbies or things you get up to that make you happy?

As @sinead276 said above, it sounds really natural to have a bit of a dip in your mood when you return home after a new adventure. I know quite a lot of people can get the 'post-holiday blues'. Would it feel helpful to tell us some memories from your holiday that you really enjoyed? Am I right in thinking you went to the Arctic!? That's so cool! Did you manage to see the Northern Lights in the end? They've always been on my bucket list!
Sending you a hug, @ellie2000 , and please feel free to share more if you wanted to tell us what kind of bad feelings you're having? We're here to listen.
Hopefully it will stop at stravanger, norway 😀 wat is holiday blues?
I keep emailing the manager wat I observe n wat could b done better. There's another meeting soon either wen I get back or next yr
Oh wow hope u enjoy visiting the northern lights @ellie2000
Yes, you can post photos on here if you'd like to share snaps of your holiday - I'd love to see. Just be mindful about not posting any photographs of your face to protect your confidentiality, and not posting faces of other people too
Hope that helps!
