(TheInquisitr) - We often hear or read that the holidays are a sad time for a lot of people and when the new year comes, it's probably even more depressing that people a celebrating in such an over-the-top way that sad people get even sadder.
That's just a theory, but it's likely the case if we see obvious signs of this kind of behavior and match it with impulsive gun sales, where more people buy them every time the president uses the word 'gun(s).'
As a writer who digs through the trenches looking for confirmation on some of these things, we refer to one article by TheHuffingtonPost which writes about the anxiety and depression of the holidays where they start the first paragraph with:
"For many people, this time of year is magic."
A little later she says:
In reality however, this glossy surface is just that. Underneath, many people feel very anxious and depressed. Some of these people suffer with depression and anxiety all year, and others seem to feel it only during the holidays. This often continues well into the new year.
In the article we refer to by TheInquisitr, the writer takes a snapshot of the transition between the old and new year where the faces of celebrities via social media provide some safe haven for those with anxieties and depression, and even show some videos of celebrations in places that have had a 'rough' couple, to several years.
