Holiday Blues
ohhhhhhh Jane im so sorry your feeling like this
although im not a depressed person. but when it comes to the holidays , i do get depressed. my mom got sick when she was 41 back in oct 1978 it was very hard for us 6 kids my youngest brother was 8 we had no father and going thru the holidays with a mom having lung cancer was terrible. she passed jan of 79 i miss her every single day. she was my very best friend . i was 6 months pregnant with my 1st when she died. she never even got to meet my kids. so i understand how u feel but as u said " this too shall pass" (((((((((((((Jane)))))))))))))))

Toni, it's so true, we all have our own triggers. I was sad to read the account of your mom's illness and you kids having to make your way. I can understand getting a little depressed too. My mom passed on New Year's day in 2004 and my dad later the same year. Even though my mom's passing was really for the best (advanced altzheimers and a stroke 18 months earlier), it still adds a touch of sadness to the New Year's celebrations.
I've never suffered from depression either, but I definitely have my blue times which I can note by my desire to isolate from the world. Then I remember, this too shall pass, and it does.

Toni, when we are together, or are on the phone, I am going to hear this entire recounting of your family. You surely could write a book! You've suffered too much loss in your young life. I'm sending hugs and congratulating you on your marriage. You didn't have role models on how to do it and yet you are victorious!

Leeee,
thank you so much for that. i dont think anyone has ever said that to me including my mother inlaw.
i figured she would have stepped in when my mom passed i was only 18 1/2
i tried to do what was right, with God always in my life , what my mom taught me , my own morals and values and lots of books to aid me to have a wonderful marriage and wonderful children.

Jane, I'm so glad you posted this. I really think the first step to overcoming anything, including the blues, is to just get it out there. I don't have any magical remedies, but just want to tell you to hang in there. The holidays are so difficult sometimes, and stressful. It just shouldn't be that way. Take care lady!!

The "blues" have gone!!! I had a lot of plans over the weekend and made me get out, just what I needed. I don't do well it seems with unscheduled time...I just tend to do nothing, which apparently did not work for me this yr. I am optimistic that they won't return either!! Thanks for caring.
