I've been dealing with depression for the last few years. I saw a therapist for about a year and a half who gave me some goods tips for when I'm feeling down. I try to stay busy and active but this time of year is always hard. Most of my family and friends don't live nearby anymore so I miss them. I feel so lonely that we're not together for the holidays. This is supposed to be the happiest time of the year but I usually feel horrible. I figured maybe some online support would help me through my blahness.

most of my family are in the UK and im in Australia - i know its hard when they are not around
 can you call them or visit? a call isnt as good as a visit but it can brighten your day do you have anyone near by that you can spend christmas wiht? alternatively - and its not for everyone - (me included - i stay home wiht my cat or work on christmas) but a lot of people say volunteering on christmas helps get them past the sadness keep posting and letting us know how you are ok big hugs to you

I"m feeling blah at this time of year as well, I agree with Phoenix that maybe volunteering may be of help to you.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
