I've been depressed around the holidays(more depressed than I already am) for 20 years. Anyone else?

My favorite time of the year, by far... not even close.

i need a new phone but now going into any mall or store will be a bitch. too crowded!

11/25/2010 8:48:30 PM

they are typically my fav time of the year

today i was struggling a little bit though, due to out of the ordinary circumstances.

i think i will put up the christmas tree on sunday to make me feel happier!

11/25/2010 8:50:07 PM

^ What out of ordinary circumstances?

11/25/2010 8:51:54 PM

i can't get anyone any presents with no $. then i feel bad when they give me something even though i tell them not to.

people who are getting to stores at 3/4 a.m. tomorrow are crazy!

i wasn't with my family for the first time ever. stress over things beyond my control...like potentially receiving bad news next week :/ getting used to to holidays w/o some people. but mostly the first 2 things.

First step is to identify why you are depressed.

Second step is to obtain it.

11/25/2010 9:02:13 PM

obtain what? depression?

11/25/2010 9:03:14 PM

Usually what's making you depressed is the absence of some 'thing'.

Obtain that 'thing' and you will not be depressed.

11/25/2010 9:05:29 PM

not all things you want are attainable

obtainable?

i don't know which one it is but i'm eating fruit snacks so i don't care

What if you don't know what that "thing" is?

11/25/2010 9:08:15 PM

Just accept you're a trainwreck and move on.

11/25/2010 9:08:55 PM

I used to be depressed but then I realized that this life is probably all there is, so I didn't want to waste it being miserable all the time, so I just stopped.

11/25/2010 9:09:06 PM

normally I love them, but past few years its getting bad because of family health situations

11/25/2010 9:11:16 PM

i've been depressed since i was 7. it's gotten way worse since i hit my 20's. now i'm worthless.

best natural cure for depression=being in love. i need a mans.

11/25/2010 9:12:30 PM

^^ that is me.

why does bad health news ALWAYS come at the holidays without fail? or at least for me. it is really tainting this time of year! UGH

7??? jesus

yeah, but my situation is more of a long term condition that will only get worse and worse and it just shows more at the holidays

Terrible idea. Makes you co-dependent. And then you break up. The cycle continues.

11/25/2010 9:13:53 PM

^^ that sucks

mine is people dying. other people might be getting diagnosed with something really bad. and me being left with no one. its really fun.

You have to look in the mirror and realize your body is fucking with you. Smile in the mirror and believe you're happy. You'll release endorphins that battle depression. It's not a miracle. It's medicine and brain manipulation to get what you want. Emotions are worthless to anyone else but yourself. Noone else can feel your depression or cares. So whenever you're feeling a worthless emotion, literally tell that emotion to go fuck itself.

put it on the pizza.

i usually love the holidays. was just off today. i am excited about putting up the christmas tree though. and eating cheese straws. omnomnom. and buying presents for everyone!!! i like giving it is way more fun than receiving (yea cue inapprop quotes thread)

but i will probably be up and down for the majority of the holiday season. that is how it is, yo. esp if the bad news happens. please to not let the bad news happen. we need good news.

11/25/2010 9:20:50 PM

^^ PM sent

11/25/2010 9:21:41 PM

Not related, but I bought a medium Piccolo pizza yesterday and ate all eight slice myself in one sitting... somehow I'm not 250 pounds. Also, I slept for like two hours directly after I ate it.

11/25/2010 9:21:47 PM

om nom to the nom nom

11/25/2010 9:23:08 PM

^^ fuck you

11/25/2010 9:23:33 PM

sad i really thought i might be getting a pm for a second. then i realized it was a cruel joke

and i wish i had pizza right now. that would help the mood. instead all i have is like 900 country ham rolls that are delicious but some people didn't enjoy. or even pretend to enjoy.

11/25/2010 9:25:49 PM

I want ham rolls

11/25/2010 9:28:52 PM

11/25/2010 9:29:36 PM

11/25/2010 9:40:34 PM

ham rolls cure everything.

i have some with brown sugar. and some with honey dijon mustard. they are both nom.
