Depression around holidays?

The Christmas season, it has been said, brings many people not only sadness, but depression. In fact, winter time is when some people suffer from SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. This often occurs because they are not getting vitamin D (found in the sun) and the darkness of winter. Mant people can get help with an OTT light. For yourself, make your holiday as easy as possible AND see your psychiatrist if needed. Hugs. This is your mother's anniversary of her passing and she wouldn't want you to be sad. Perhaps volunteer at a favorite organization that your mother liked.💞💞

You are the opposite of failure, so go easy on yourself for ever how long you need to. Thoughts and prayers for you during this time.

Billygoat: You're quite welcome. Prayers sent to you. And thank you for your holiday wishes!

cetrude, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you!

If your depression is unmanageable then you need to see a doctor.
