Do You Get Sad This Time Of Year

Jordan2 — Sat, 14 Dec 2019 20:29:46 GMT

I am much better off than some, but I have to admit this time of year makes me sad. I think about getting older, what I haven't accomplished, loved ones that I have lost. I just find it hard to get into the holiday spirit.

I miss those who have left way too soon, but I'm so grateful that they were in my life.

I deliberately do things that are very "holiday"

I like to browse the malls, so pretty.

I listen to Christmas music.

I be sure to donate to my favorite causes.

I go to Christmas concerts.

I do everything I can to stay positive and in the Christmas spirit.

I tend to get nostalgic this time of year and it can make me sad. I avoid the New Year's Eve hoopla as I don't like all of the "looking back" stuff that happens in all the media.

I think there is just a lot of pressure for people to be happy-happy during the Holidays and it can make people feel that there's something wrong with them if they're not feeling it.

I like New Year's Day. A new year! A fresh start!

I hate to sound like sad Sally, but I am tremendously sad right now. Just totally overwhelmed.

My husband is not doing well at all (2 calls to 911 in the last 7 days, while we were out trying to do things) and I am just beside myself.

Christmas and the New Year can't leave fast enough. I just want to get in bed and curl up in the fetal position. So much sadness and stress.

Jordan: Your post describes exactly how I feel during the Christmas season. Health issues make it hard to do some of the things I'd like to do.

That is a heavy burden of grief, @goldensrbest.

I have always gotten sad this time of year missing everyone in my life who have passed. I really am sad losing my DH 9 years ago Christmas day. I still feel him every day.

@Pecky I totally understand and feel the same way. My dear husband passed about two weeks before Christmas. I try to keep extra busy but the holidays will never be the same.

I lost mine 20 years ago, day after Xmas, so I know what you mean. My sweet niece, closest to me, is now in a coma dying of cancer, and I cannot get into the spirit. When they had the big sale about 3 months ago, I bought her about 15 outfits. My other niece one of her sisters sent a picture of the two of them together, and the sick one ,her clothes were just hanging on her. I knew when QVC has sales they are usually size small and extra small. I got busy, and made sure when she went for chemo or Dr visit, she had decent clothes. These were Makie, Stewart. Rivers, Quaker, good things, she loved everyone of them. Got onAmazon, and bought her caps suggested and designed by cancer survivers. also cases of Carnation Instant Drink. If you have anyone with cancer, buy them things to wear or drink, they are not able to get out to shop. All in all, my purchases cost me about $200.00, woth every penny, and I'm on a fixed income. But have a satisfied heart. Bless all of you on Xmas Day.

I totally agree about New Year's Eve, it can be a real bummer.

I try not to think a lot about the old days, what used to be, etc., and have lowered my expectations to meet what is realistic about the holidays. It's the only way I see to cope.

I feel for all of you who have lost loved ones and/or are sad for other reasons. My mom was sickest, before she passed, at Christmastime, so, yes, I know how you're feeling and am sad, also. Love to you all. 💗
