There ain't no cure for the holiday blues Usually Christmas is my favorite time of the year but lastnight I just got so depressed.  I'm having a lot of stress at work, my family is having "issues," I'm broke, and I'm lonely. I wish it was January. Anyone else feel me out there?In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

| I feel ya. I'm also broke this year (out of work for the past three months), and am just not feeling the holiday spirit. Usually, I get a live Christmas tree, but I'm probably not going to do that, because I don't have the money to spend on it.
Unemployment sucks, and what makes it worse is family and friends acting surprised because I haven't found a job yet, and acting like I can just get a job like that, overnight. I hate when people act like that, it just gets me even more frustrated and angry with my current situation. It's not easy to find a job nowadays, especially when the city you live in has a 12% unemployment rate. If the offenders (the people making these comments) were out of work and living here, they would change their tune in a hurry.   [Edited 11/26/04 11:02am] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

i feel sorry for the people around me this year i have a feeling they are going to have lots of pieces to pick up. That's exactly it Lolly! Change! this time last year I was in such a positive place, I changed so much about my life, how I saw it, who I allowed into it, what direction it was going. Things were looking up everything seemed so good! I had so much confidence in my self and where things were going, but now, a year later, things feel like they are at a stand still. I still have faith that I made the right decisions but I feel like I'm not doing enough and the walls are closing in on me. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

....Christmas is never a great time.....I get my lonely spells...My family as largely gone and "fragmented"...
....But there are those much worse off...on the other hand that doesn't make it any easier..... .....What I do is set my expectations low...stay off the alcohol....and anything good is a bonus..... ....There's always gonna be someone here at least to help raise a smile.... 
  I have a firm grip on reality...Maybe just not this reality  |

You've made so many changes in your life this past year...maybe you're feel like you haven't done enough some how. It could be that because you made all those changes early on in the year it feels like you've stalled....but you've only come to a point now that is calmer. | |
