It's Blue Monday aka most depressing day of year

 New York, Jan. 06:

Feeling the Monday blues a bit more today?

You're not alone.

With millions of people around the world coming back to work on Jan. 6, various web analytics and social media statistics showed that Jan. 6 is the most depressing day of 2014. Further analysis showed it is mainly because it is the first Monday of getting back to work.

Researchers have named this Monday as the most depressing day of the year.
Researchers for protein drink Upbeat analyzed two million tweets that were posted in the last three January's, and found that it was a day when people break their new year's resolutions, the New York Daily News reported.

The study also found that people, who are unhappy with their love lives, look for a new partner and those unhappy at their work place consider switching.

The first Monday of the month also sees record posts about feeling guilty, being tired, eating too much, being broke or wanting to quit the UK for warmer climate.

According to relationship experts, the strains of festive family get-togethers coupled with alcohol could lead to marriages crumbling.

IllicitEncounters.com also sees a 25 per cent increase in activity after the festive break.

 Reasons: Why People Are Depressed on Jan. 6, 2014

The most recent report revealed that most feel low because of lack of sleep and the struggle to keep up with their New Year's resolutions. Guilty-ridden tweets are also five times higher as people go back to work and get to arrive in a lot of realizations. The report also showed that the female population seem to stay more positive throughout the entire first month of the year.

Out of a total score of 100, most women got an average of 67. Susan Hignett, brand manager of a high energy protein drink called Upbeat, said it is normal for people to find some days very tough to stay positive.

However, there are also the leading times of the year when almost everyone feels great, upbeat, motivated and positive. Those top six dates of 2013 include Dec. 24 and 25, Jan. 1, Feb. 14, April 20 and July 7.
