Is it just me or does anyone else feel depressed on what should be a very joyful Day? Been hiding my tears all day. I feel like a such a selfish person for feeling this way! Don't want my kids or Husband to know!!! The depression is so bad due to the increased stress in my life. No one gets it!!! Why am I such a looser???

You are not alone about how you feel on Christmas. Many are feeling very depressed and sad on what is supposed to be a joyful day. For me it is not so joyful as I miss my mom who died 16 years ago. We are not losers due to feeling down. There has to be good reasons for your sadness and sometimes depression just has a mind of it's own. I hope you find some solace in the fact that it is ok to feel what you are feeling. I just try to not stay in the bad feelings and find something to be thankful for. That helps me. Be blessed and I wish you the best.

I feel very depressed right now myself. Just a lot of stuff this year that contributed to it. I had been trying to get disability for over three years now, and I am not going to get it. (I find this out right before Christmas .) My attorney doesn't think he wants to pursuit it to the federal level; plus I've got my family members getting on my case because they think that I've been a lazy bum who wants to milk the system.

On the upside, though, I did manage to get through some college classes online, and I passed all of them!

Just responded on another thread with this same subject.
I could not wait to get home so I could cry my eyes out. Depressed I am struggling on all levels and family unknowly hurtful comments. Ugh Gee I hate the mask I wear!!

All the festivities are over and I am trying to focus on something positive.

Thank you all! I miss my dad. My mom is ill,my sibling fell off the wagon again and chose the right moment to tell me, My son needs me cause he is ill! I've been going full throttle with no sleep and I just want someone to put there arm around me and tell me it's gonna be ok! My dad would have at least tried. No one else notices because they can only take. My heart hurts. I am so ashamed because I should be grateful! I haven't seen Therapist in 3 weeks. He has holiday and vacation. Not even the person I pay to care is available! I am so sorry That many of you feel the same way! Hugs to you all!

I know this! I am sorry! I definitely will pray for all of us. Although lately I'm not on good terms with God! Forgive me!
