In life lots of things make us feel really low and fed up

I understand what you feel and it doesn't really feels good. I've been in that phase and I may I'm still right now but I have to cope up. I have to wear a smile, a happy face eventhough inside I want to cry out loud....If there are times that I want to give up, I stop for a while and pray, I ask God to take over and ease my burden

I know how you feel. I feel this way alot of times. I hate it and try to make my life better but some one or some thing always has to stand in the way of it.

Winter is a hard time. Maybe you have SAD. A lack of light bums us out. How you like to be in my shoes? Diagnosed with severe depression with panic attacks and having this SAD thing on top of it. Spring will come and i think we will both feel better then. Sunny days and warmth.

Hi, well you are just making things worst. The gifts that you think are turning down the faces of your children may turn to be more valuable when the kids really think that they are in love with it. There is no satisfaction in man's life the needs and wants of human are innumerable. But still i think it is the best that you have given to your kids taking the age bracket into consideration. Because children normally in their teenagers or mid childhood are prone to games and such things. Other than that if you want your kids to have some more the best thing you can do is contact your kids's friends are have a chat with them indirectly speaking about Christmas gifts. As compared to your society at least you give gifts to your kids for Christmas and give something to each other, but in our Indian society things are different, on Christmas days we greet each other with gifts of eatables, give visits to families and all. So according to me i think what you have done to your kids is the best.

Hi! I think what you need is a good motivation, or a party to boost your mood. It is time for you to relax and forget all about the bad things, and try to recall the happy moment. Try to go out and find someone to talk, you do not need to talk about your problem, but just find someone to talk about anything, and do not close yourself in a room and keep thinking something bad. We should always make our live fun and full of happiness, and should think positively for tomorrow. In that way, our life will be more meaningful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Take it easy, and let each day pass as it is. Our mood changes everyday with happenings and who knows by now, u are in the right mood for christmas on the actual day? Merry christmas to u! I would rather myself to be in your shoes because at least i have something to look forward to, in order to change my mood for the better, instead of waiting happily only to end up in disappointment. U will enjoy your Christmas for sure.

Maybe you are thinking too much about the upcoming holiday, jugsjugs, Christmas isn't about commercialism, it is more a celebration of a life given for many others. Christmas is spiritual and comes from within; if you are feeling exceptionally blue, maybe you should seek professional help. In any event, I hope you start to feel more chipper soon.

Stress at work and lack of money are keeping me from getting into the Christmas spirit this year. Hopefully both of us can muster up a little Christmas spirit in this last week before the big day gets here.

Yeah i'm not in the mood for christmas as well. SOmehow i dun get the joy from this festive season, even though it's near new year as well. I feel rather rushed for time and pressured to get things done. After all barely 3 weeks about these two holidays, there's chinese new year coming up again! Not to mention i have not been working since early december due to army training stint for 3 weeks, my work is already piling up that i simply have no time to enjoy anything

I have not been able to get in the mood for Christmas for years! The fun,excitment and joy of Christmas has been lost! The way it has been over commericalized and I have had some lousey Christmas's! I have tried to get some of it back but it is hopeless! I know how you feel!

That feeling you have, I can understand it a bit. As I have not felt very merry lately nor do I really feel the happiness or the excitement of new year. It may be perhaps we have forgotten the meaning of being happy and fun over the years we came to live life as an adult. I wish I can go back to being a child so that, at least, I can find the meaning of Christmas in my heart once again. Try to play with your kids around nature, maybe that will help you remember how to have fun with them. As I see it, the children in this generation, merely plays video games more. Play that involves moving around, maybe you'll find yourself smiling and realize that you're having fun with your children and let them experience the fun of playing with you and around nature too.

It is the eve today, and I am still feeling the same way. But I can't show this feeling to all the people around me. All month, all week, all day, I've been keeping up a 'happy' facade. I know I should be grateful for everything that I have, but sometimes (or most of the time), I feel I just want what's next.

Maybe you need a vacation, alone with only your loved one. Away from the festive atmosphere. Who knows you are just fed up with the routine.

Sometimes, when holidays approach, some people get a really crappy mood, some might even be depressed aswell. I think it's OK to feel that way, I do sometimes. Most of the times when I get this weird feeling of just being out of mood I try to entertain myself with anything to forget about it, and after sometime it goes away. I wish I was one of your sons, they seem to be really lucky this christmas. Just try and spend time with them and you will be just fine. Hope everything goes well :)

Well, I am kind of getting in the mood for Christmas, but since I was pretty much denied medical financial aid today, my mood is a little in the middle.

I do know what you mean. I've been wrapping presents and wrapping, and even with all that wrapping I could care LESS if its less than a week away - it could be next year for all I cared...

I can certainly understand how you feel. I'm sure a lot of people do. I think that it's just the way that it is for a lot of us.

Although it might seem as though a lot of things are going wrong for you at the moment, you should remember that there are still many things in your life that you should be grateful for, like the fact that your sons are going to have a wonderful Christmas because you've made the effort to get them the presents that they would like. You should be proud that you are able to give your sons the gifts that they want, because they will be grateful to you that you have done this, as you will make their day.

Chronic pain, all by itself, causes depression. Then if you add in things like shorter days so there is less light, cold weather which also aggravates the pain, and all the other people scurrying around like shopping or getting presents is the whole purpose of their lives its enough to make us very blue indeed. The only hope we have is that it will soon be over and things will get back to normal.

Definitely! It is Christmas but then I can't find the spirit or the Joy the season. I admit it is not just now that i feel it but the same us last year. In my Life, I never been happy when it comes to Christmas or any other occasion.
