Got through the holidays, back to the salt mine

Anyone else having this sort of thing:
My system performed great during the holidays. No meltdowns. Lot's of appropriate social functioning and interaction. Stuff happening on schedule involving other people. Pretty smooth. Now that it's January, we're a deflated beach ball and a sleepyhead wanting to nap for hours. We can't even muster the focus to go to the gym. Everything other than the napping feels burdensome.
And there's this sense of something black on the horizon of therapy. Daily self says, "bring it, we're ready." But napping ensues.

Hi flockpride

I actually have the opposite problem. The holidays bring me down and when they are over I get back to myself.

I think many people have a big let down after the holidays. The excitement is over and life just comes back to a monotonous grind for so many. I hope some others will come along who can relate to this.

i think it has to do with being good in "crisis" situations. our hypervigilance gears us up and allows us to function at this heightened state to make it thru the holidays and now that we dont have to deal with all the added stress our bodies just want to take a break.

You said it really well. That's it.
