Does anyone have the same thing going on?

The holidays usually don't affect me one way or the other. My immediate family is very small and over the years we have scaled way down on the commercial side of Christmas and instead established our own special traditions. So, I'm not in that whirlwind that others may experience.

~However~ today I went to the grocery and just saw a display of Christmas wrapping paper and such and immediately felt my mood drop. (I think it's a full moon now too.)

Anyway, my reaction really surprised me and I've been musing on it on today, then I find your post.

As a sidenote: Many people who do not live with a depressive illness get the "holiday blues" so, logically, it's not unusual that we do. However living with it is the pits.

Yep, count me in for having these feelings.
