Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Usually around this time of year is when I’m at my happiest, Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. Being around my family and friends and loved ones just enjoying life. But now it feels like a painful time of year for me. I feel like I can’t be joyful about it at all, idk why honestly and it’s really bringing me down emotionally. I just feel like I can’t be happy at all ever again and I just want to die

That's just depression lying to you my friend. How long has this been going on? If more then 1-2 months please let your doc know as there is treatment. The holidays are tough so this may just be a temporary low. Either way tell your doc to be safe. Depression is a cruel illness. I'm in the middle of my 3rd serious bout...but things do get better my friend. Hang tough and keep posting. Everyone here knows your pain and you are not alone!

Not suprisingly christmas is many people want to commit suicide. I know many people call the suicide hotline on christmas. They do'nt have to go to work. They have no family no friends. They stay home and get depress. Find something to do that you enjoy. I will go to clubs and get massages.
