I hope you feel better. I actually have a history of getting recurrent sinus infections and found that pseudo also exacerbates some of my symptoms. My heart races and my anxiety goes up. It's even worse if I'm already manicky.

As far as the holidays go, yes, I'm starting to feel worse. I try not to compare myself to other people, but that pressure to be in a good mood and celebrate sometimes gets to me. It makes me want to withdraw. I feel even worse knowing that I should be focused on what is positive and things I'm thankful for, but it's hard for me to focus on those things when I'm depressed.
