Thanks guys for all the hugs...
I so wish I could edit/delete this thread I started, because instead of it being as * intended, it just sounds like a pathetic person, wallowing in self pity.
My intention was
* 1. To acknowledge (acceptance) that there's many of us starting the "Happy" New Year in a very "UN-happy" frame of mind...
(Which is ok, since life can really suck at times for anyone=Be unfair)...

* 2. Suggest that once we realize we're not alone with this crummy UNHAPPY feeling,
that instead of dwelling on how much it sucks (UN-Merry Christmas and UN-Happy New Year),
we instead try to do something really nice for ourselves so we can feel a little bit of Merry & Happy, even if it's just for a few minutes or hours.

Sound like good advice, right?
Turn an UN-Happy Day* into one with a little bit of Happiness).
Especially when it's a holiday, when it appears everyone else is HAPPY and celebrating.
Sometimes it's up to us ALONE to PULL a little Happiness back in...
But sadly, I FAILED on that day to follow my own advice.
Tried, really wanted to, but it just never happened.
Either way I'm really glad the Merry/Happy holiday season is over,
and right now, all I can do is hope that the next celebratory day that comes up, (I suppose Valentines Day or my birthday next month),
I and all others feeling this way (unhappy),
won't need to put so much effort into feeling "HAPPY & MERRY".

Another New Years thread here discusses how holidays are really BS.
I agree, except that I think celebratory days are sometimes necessary to REMIND us to feel and/or seek JOY (happy) -
Because without JOY, life would always suck, and who wants that? (Not me).
...I'll keep trying.
