Answers:
Yes, i usually feel very depressed and just like im alone during the holiday season, mostly because of previous things that have happened!. But I cope by just pretending that its just a normal day, and i chose to do painting, sculpting and i often rock climb!. It allows me to let go of all of my feelings and just let me relax and feel better!. I also enjoy playing my piano!. I have an extra room upstairs that i keep all of my paintings in over the years, and they are all very different!. I hung them up on the walls in the one room and put my piano in the middle of the room and just go to a happy place and relax!. I hope that i helped and that everything works out for you!. good luck!

I'm the same only instead of getting wasted i usually have a drink to help relax me JUST one and then i totally throw myself into buying presents for family and friends and dressing up and making the day with my family the best it can!. i usually have a pretty ok time!. Getting drunk doesnt help its a depressant and the drugs well i don't like drugs!. SO yes!. That's how i cope!. Ignoring that pain!. And being relaxed!. Oh and DONT watch christmas movies unless they're like comedies!. Stand up comedy is one hell of a ay to forget your troubles!. =] Try it!. I hope it helps!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I do!. I suffer from depression!. I don't drink though!. I shop some but, I tend to become depressed when I see others buy and I can't buy as much for family and few friends I have!. I have a strange way of coping though!. I write in my journal and read alot!. I drink hot tea and try to get busy cleaning!. Cleaning is a way of coping for me!. I feel like I am working and at the same time my depression lifts some!. I think of others that are worse than I am!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I suggest that you do some soul searching to find out what makes you isolate at this time of year and begin the recovery process!.!.!.either by talking it out, writing it out, or getting some therapy!. Something traumatic must have happened for you to feel like that!. My mother died on Christmas day many years ago when I was a kid!. For years I dreaded Christmas and I felt like you!. (I didn't get drunk, though!.)

Yeah, i get depressed mostly because i live up north and its like a frozen wasteland with no sun!. It helps to get out and go somewhere sunny if you can! even the tanner's or something, just to get the sun will help you feel better!. Try to hang out with your friends, go on a date, go to a club or something!. do something thats gonna lift you up instead of dragging you downWww@Answer-Health@Com
