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.

Angel,
It is very understandable what you are going through. I am one of the opposites. I love the holidays then I get down when they end.
So many people feel as you do and for so many reasons.
I have to agree with Pam and the goals. I also love all the good feedback that you have been given here. I hope it helps.
Let us know if anything was of any help to you.
My best wishes to you for getting through this time of year.
Hugs,
Laurie

It's hard to say something about what works for me... we are two different people, and it would be rather presumptious and pompous of me to suggest what works for me would work for you.


Know that shoulders are here, and ears are listening. If ya ever feel a need to write, please feel free to write, I'll be more than glad to provide that shoulder and those ears. Just ask me first if ah cleaned 'em out first.

And I can’t waste another second
Living in hell like it’s some kind of heaven.
And if one truth leads to another
Then isn’t there one I can unconver.,
There isn’t one I will not discover.

It’s the right time.
It’s my time.
It’s the right time.
It’s my time.
It’s my turn to discover.

Feel To Believe

I understand what you're going through. Pam, hit it right on the head. The best way that I know how to get out of the holiday blues is to decorate my apartment, or listen to holiday music. I know those may not be very helpful, but those are the things that I would do to put me in the holiday spirit. Of course, you know, every day is a holiday to me. I'll echo what everone else has said, come here, talk about how you feel, and if you're so inclined send me an email, but if not, Just know that I care about you.

Hugs!

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

I used to dread the holidays, but since I've been doing a lot of self discovery this year I choose to not hate things. I love them, because it's a time to be close with my family who have always been my greatest source of support. I just didn't want to know that because I was ashamed of how I lived my life. All the drugs and arrests and running away to anywhere. Basically I was irresponsible, never taking responsibility for my actions. As far as being a lesbian, they have always been supportive of that. It was the only healthy part of me. Anyway, Happy Holidays to those who observe them and have a great December to everyone.

Maybe, I'll start off by getting a christmas tree. I have to buy one this year because my ex-H never returned the one I bought. Then may christmas cookies. I have it in my head I'm going to get the family/kids what I want to. When ever someone brings up christmas shopping and gifts in my family now I let them know straight out don't ask me for nothing I shopping blind this year. All the gifts from me are going to be fr0om my heart.
