WICHITA, Kan. • Families have
dispersed and college bowl games
are finished. The kids are back at
school and most folks are back at
work. All around you are signs that
things have returned to normal but
you're in a funk that even the afterChristmas sales haven't been able to
lift.
Maybe it's the post-holiday blues.
It's not uncommon or unexpected
this time of year.
Gregory Olson, psychologist and
CEQ of Sumner Mental Health Center, says all emotions are heightened
around the holidays, including expectation, anxiety, depression and
nostalgia.
"It really starts out at Thanksgivingi which we Symbolize with a
cornucopia. WJe~expect all things to
come to us:"
Then comes Christmas, "which
we think of as a Christmas card; another perfect scene," says Olson.
Unfortunately, for most of us, the
holiday can't meet our high expectations. Families squabble, gifts disappoint, pie crusts fail and favorite
teams lose.
Then we end the holiday season
with New Year's, when we expect
our life to be changed for the better,
//and many times it's not," says 01-
son.
But you don't have to take feeling
miserable lying down.
"Depression feeds on isolation,"
says Andover, Kan,, psychologist
Stephen Amos, "so make plans to be
with other people especially people
who are fun to be with and make you
get out and do things."
You also may have to work at being nice to yourself, says Jon
Burghart, project manager for the
Crisis Intervention Service of the
Sedgwick County, Kan., Department
of Mental Health.
Olson, Amos and Burghart offer
these tips for coping:
• Exercise. Even though it may
take some motivation just to get off
the sofa, physical activity really is
one of the best weapons against depression. It has a calming and uplifting effect on both the body and
mind.
• Take care of your body: Get
enough sleep, but don't lie in bed all
• Get a reality check. If you keep
telling yourself you're worthless,
lazy, selfish or have other bad traits,
ask yourself if you'd say that to your
best friend Chances are, you're
kinder to others than you are to
yourself. Give yourself a break.
• Turn off the TV. Commercials
and programs may heighten your
ABERCORN
1:30
sense that your life falls short of the
American Dream,
• Plan your day. Even if you're
just catching up on chores or meeting a friend for lunch, it can help
give you a sense of purpose accomplishment and control;
• Stay in touch. Don't just wait
for the phone to ring. If you feel isolated from your friends or family,
