Depression has started....

I really hate the holiday season. I get so depressed. Then I wonder if it's just me or does anybody else go through this. What do you do to help yourself get through this time? It's suppose to be such a happy time with friends and family. I have no real close friends - My family is so worried about what your getting them for Christmas. Then the visiting the grandparents where they put you through the questioning. (What are you doing with your life....) I just want to shut myself up in my room and turn off all the phones and hid until Jan. 2nd. I'm snapping at people and crying for nothing at all already. I haven't started Christmas shopping yet and I'm normally done by now. It's really bad this year. To the point I might just call my doctor to talk to him about it. Please let me make it through this wonderful (NOT) holiday season.

Pam gave you some great advice. Unfortunately, so many factors can cause stress at what should really be a happy, peaceful time of year. Try to be good to yourself in some way and know that you don't have to meet everyone's expectations of what they think you should be doing or buying.
And maybe a consultation with your doctor to determine if meds might be in order would help. You have a lot on your plate. Please take care of yourself and come here and let it all out when you need to.
Hugs,

Thanks Pam!!! I'm sticking to a budget and nobody is going to throw me off this year. I love all of your ideas. The one about self pampering is the best:) I'll be sure to do that one too:)
I hope you Thanksgiving is lovely.

Thanks Ting,
I'm making an appointment just to go in and talk to the doctor just in case I need a little extra help.
