Stop depressing me!

Okay, since no one else asked this...what happened that caused all of the family loss and everything else? I mean, saying you'll have no food, no presents, no tree and no family? What happened that made this what it is now for you? Hey, I don't have much myself..I've not had my own place for over 5 years now. I have been living with a friend or a family member since then, had sporadic jobs in the last few years and no money to speak of..I am thankful to be alive and even though things may not be as bad for me as they seem for you, there must be some way of feeling better or finding a solution?

God giveth and taketh away, to see how strong we are to our faith and beliefs and to ourselves being tested for our limits.There is no such problem bigger than the one up above who created. Things happen for a reason and only you can discern that...It is an opportunity to learn and make use out of such experience for a bigger task in life. Anyway,don't let the spirit of christmas get the best of you...There will be more Christmas to come. As a matter of fact, you can even celebrate it even in other ordinary days, just how you see it yourself and your family incorporated to your daily life. Being sorry fo yourself, or wallowing into self pity wouldn't resolve the issue. Instead see the brighter side of life and have hope for tommorrow. Like your breath and life, there is so much to be thankful about life.And your trials will turn too as a grace and blessing in the future.Be thankful in everything, that God let you experience being down for this time, so you will strive to get up on your feet and be successful in the future. Merry Christmas to you and your family, just the same and no matter what situation you are in, remember Jesus loves you as Always!

I am sorry you are so down! The heck with other people! You should be celebrating Christmas the only way you can. Christmas is about what you have not the presents and all the other BS that people make it about. Celebrate with whomever you have with you now and make your own Christmas traditions.

Ooooo its so sad..come on cheer up you have so many friends here.and we are all there to share with the joy of christmas.may you have all u want in the coming here including people to care for you and joy for you.Happy Christmas dear.

Well this is what happening to me here..!! I have my family, A good house, a big tree, Nice clothes, Cute crads, Nice gifts.... But I am still feeling depressed in this christmas. I don't like it..!! :)

Im very sorry to hear that you feel so sad. It must be very difficult for you to read all these discussions about christmas. I hope you feel better.

I can totally relate to your story. I have three children and and I am a single parent. I work 2 jobs but still had to get my kids cheap dollar store toys. Things will get better. Society has gotten carried away with Christmas. This holiday is supposed to be about the birth of the baby Jesus not gifts. But it is hard to tell children this. Keep your head up.

I can relate I really can. Up until a yr or so ago Christmas was just another day for me.. nothing special.. normally I worked cause there was no reason for me not to. Don't let it get to you though.. its always darkest before the light.. I know that sounds a bit retarded but things will get better. You have to lose a little in order to understand the good when you get it back.

i am sorry to hear that about you.everything will ok.that's all.
