Holiday depression, who's got it?

[goodcents]

I suddenly feel bummed out everyday it's always something. Car is acting up now and the bltch two doors down from my salon keeps wanting to stir it up about the salon flooding and her store didn't even get wet. Now she says there is mold and keeps calling the lease people trying to stir it up They are trying to make her happy but she won't let it drop. I've been having really good days but it always seems like one step forward, 2 steps back Well I feel a little better now. I know it's all how you look at things but shlt just seems to be piling on. I praddle on, how do you guys feel

I'm setting here watching one of my damn fish dying too This day blows.

I talked to my ex last week. She doesnt want to see me for Christmas. I miss her and her daughter

[Fat Guy]

I use to get sad around the holidays when I was younger, however these days are better. My father died when I was 18 years old around the early part of December and that really put a damper on my holidays for many years afterwards.

However, towards my mid 20s I asked my wife to marry me on December 19 and now our anniversary is that third week. I also have a young son these days to celebrate Christmas with so my holidays are very enjoyable with my family.

Keep your spirits up because it will get better for you too. Remember the holidays are about family and friends and so all the insignificant crap is just that, insignificant. Go do something nice for your loved ones and I guarantee you will feel better and Merry Christmas Friend!

I have to work Christmas day, and thus, I can't spend it with my family.

Then I have to go to my fiance's family and be nice to them for the holidays.

[NOREGRETS]

This is the first year in over a decade that I have been single during the holidays. I definitely picked up a little holiday depression.

[audis4]

my parents are being a little bit of a pain

putting up with them without unleashing hell

[king6]

Lost a girl.

It's the opposite for me. So far this is has been one of the best Holidays I have had in 4 years.

Yeah, 'cause you're a ripped, vascular bodybuilder with a new bf!!
Merry Christmas Carlos!!

[fenceguy]

My heart goes out to all of ya who are feeling down during this time of year. Been there myself, battled "major depression" for years. I have no family, (orphaned)went through a nasty divorce in february from an abusive wife, and all my friends are married with kids, Going to spend christmas day either out in the woods in a tree stand or out on my boat. Circumstances should dictate that I should be miserable and bitchy, but I am not. I am probably the happiest I have ever been in my life. Every day is gift, think about all the good things we do have, I am pretty sure we are all reasonably healthy on here, none of us are wondering where we are going to sleep or eat, I know here in the US. I am damn thankful for the freedom that we have and should be thanking our military for that freedom. Think of all our soldiers who are in IRAQ risking their lives to keep us safe. Remember what christmas is all about, the day that god's only begotten son was born so that he could save all of us. Thats what this day is really about. To appreciate the sacrafice and make us all realize how lucky we are. If your feeling down, Trying doing something nice for someone who is less fortunate. Volunteer at a shelter, or at a soup kitchen. Buy a toy for a needy child. Practice random acts of kindness. I guarantee it will make you feel better. I wish everyone on here a very merry christmas. God Bless.

[Carlos_E]

Yeah, 'cause you're a ripped, vascular bodybuilder with a new bf!!
Merry Christmas Carlos!!

Yeah, that helps to.

So far I've gotten everything I've wanted for Christmas. My bf was away on orders and they let him come home for the Holidays. We're going to visit his family. I've gotten a new camera, stuff for my apartment and other gifts. We're exchanging every couple of days. I'm going to see my Mom and my brother after the new year. I haven't seen them since last year so I'm really excited about it. Plenty of things to be happy about and thankful for.

[stayinstacked]

this Xmas isnt bad for me, my wife,daughter and I have done alot so far. We've gone to drive through Xmas lights, a Xmas light thing at the zoo, drove to the mountains to see my parents last weekend. I traded in my Acura for a new Ford F-150, I freaking love the thing, big 5.4 liter V-8, power baby!! I've had 2 Xmas parties at work so far, one for our station and one yesterday for another station we run with. Watched some good movies w/ the guys at work, saw Invincible w/ Mark Wallberg, it ruled! Going tonight to see Rocky Balboa after some drinks at the bar w/ the guys. Yeah, I've splurged and ate cookies and crap this past week, but **** it, you only live once and after Xmas it's all about getting my business started on the side and building up more for my next show in August. Money has been a little tight, but screw it I'm not letting money get my nerves worked up my whole life, I manage. Only downfall is I've been off gear for almost 4 months now, cant get anything because I've been strapped for cash but **** it, I stay big and strong anyways, my body will really kick this next run.

Oh man, that's tough. I wander how women can just turn that stuff off? I'm single, but that doesn't bother me like people would think. The girl I had of 21/2 years and me never really did things on christmas so I don't have any feelings about this time of year because of the ex. Matter of fact, I woke up with a hot 18 year old on christmas day while me and the ex were on a "break" she was always wanting breaks so I just said f it My being bummed out is that I'm so close to what I want to do that I can taste it, but always some bs slows me down (doesn't stop me cold, just more like 2 steps forward, one step back )


ps, my damn fish was dead when I got in today and having the car looked at, damn american cars, I'm buying a honda next time.

[PROTEINSHAKE]

leave it to carlos to rain on my holiday blues with his happy ass life!!

HUMBUG!


just kidding carlos...glad to see your going to have a happy holiday

[Tru2]

well I'll be by myself for Christmas this year. I got plenty of pity invites. but its even less fun going to someone elses place and having to be nice to their family that you don't even know. So I bought myself some cheese, crackers and a big pavlova. grabbing some DVD's and slothing on the couch for the day.. I'm actually really happy. mmm just saw something about fudge... I might have to make some of that too. yum. The only Christmassy thing in my house is a card I got from a girlfriend that she wrote a message of "Merry f#$ken Christmas" haha.. kinda appropriate.

Its the perils of being single and having your entire family in another country.

[realtalk]

well i'll be alone for christmas too but oh well I got a date with a bottle of crown my in-laws are a pain in the ass a bunch of dumb asses that's why I move 350 miles away.

*goodcents brings dvd's and porks down fudge till he's sick* That's about all I'm doing too, I'm tired and burned out. I'm closing the salon sun and mon.

ps, where is your family from?

[Tru2]

haha - I'm so eating till I'm sick.

they are all in New Zealand or Canada. My Mom is moving to Brisbane in January though.

[Panzerfaust]

I will be alone this year and working from home (8am-8pm), so i will probably watch some movies.

[stunner5000pt]

this is what i have to look forward to after the holidays

- school and courses that are gonna be uber uber hard

- not enough money to pay for school... which is going to be a major problem ...

- not making enough money at my current job

- losing weight and muscle because i cant go to the gym this christmas vacation because i dont have enough money

the only way im keeping myself from sinking is by studying


THATS RIGHT IM STUDYING

Come on man, you have to look for the silver lining. I'm sure there are plenty of things for you to be happy and thankful for.

I know the feeling. I don't have family in NYC and I've had holiday dinners at a diner by myself before. It does suck.

[stunner5000pt]

[Tru2]

How can one be depressed when on Christmas Eve (of which it is down here) you have wonderfully cheesy movies on like 'The Muppet Christmas show'.. ahhh ... bliss!!

No, I do carlos, I have many things,this time of year its not just time to be thankful,but also reflect on our loved ones that are no longer with us & remember all the good times...I was just playin with ya...
I will b with my cousins xmas eve, then I am volunteering at the homeless shelter on xmas day.. I have never volunteered before but I think Its time I helped people less fortunate than me...I hear its a very humbling & fulfilling experience.
