Study finds 17th September is the most miserable day of the year

Forget the January Blues, yesterday Sunday September 17th could well be the most miserable day of the year, according to a new study of Brits.

Researchers took an in depth look at the mood of the nation – and discovered that today is the day we hit our post summer low, with 61 percent admitting they feel like “that’s it” for another year.

And according to the study – reasons for our malaise include the thought of having to put the heating back on (24 percent) and dreading the stress of getting ready for Christmas (23 percent).

Two in ten (20 percent) resent the traffic getting worse post the school holiday lull – with 26 percent of men admitting it drives them to distraction – while a further 19 percent HATE packing away their summer clothes for another year.

A further 16 percent said that having put on weight during the summer has left them feeling depressed, while 14 percent said they were simply “knackered” from looking after the children during the school holidays.

A dispirited four in ten confessed they were simply not ready to say goodbye to the summer.

According to the data – a quarter of all Brits reckon September is even bleaker than January, with the 17th voted the MOST bleak day.

In fact, 41 percent of those polled claimed mood swings and mild depression is setting in now that we are on the road to winter and women seem to struggle more than men with winter blues the study revealed.

Almost half of Brits (46 percent) confessed they feel sad that they won’t see their friends or socialise as much as they did in the summer.
