Hello Billy, it's nice to meet you.

Welcome to psychcentral.

I too seem to struggle with this time of the year, I have found some coping skills that make it somewhat easier but it's still an up hill battle. For me getting my shopping done early seems to really help some with my depression and my anxiety. I hope that you continue to post, when we lean on each other it's not so hard to stand.
