Not so Merry and Bright

Christmas used to be my favorite time of year - it’s really not anymore. In fact I think it’s probably getting more and more the opposite for me. As the years go by, I find less and less joy in the holiday season, and my depression in this time grows.

Maybe you’re like me: this time of year is less exciting to you. SAD is very common this time of year (also something I struggle with). Loss can make this time of year almost unbearable because you didn’t expect that things would turn out as they did. Whatever may be a reason for you, you’re not alone.

Please reach out for help if you need it. Know that it’s okay to feel however you feel with the holiday season. This too shall pass.
