...horribly depressed, and I don't know why.

My girlfriend just asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I honestly can say I have no desire in receiving anything or giving anything to anyone. Nor am I even excited for the damn thing. I feel like I'm in a giant apathetic state I can't get out of, and right now the only thing good to have come out of Christmas season was Dustin Kensrue's Christmas album, and that's not even because I like Christmas, I just like his damn voice.

/rant.

Anyone else feeling similar/how is everyone feeling about it?? I'm pretty sure this has happened to me every year since college started up.

I don't feel depressed around Christmas, I just don't find it to be special or exciting anymore? It used to be my favorite time of year but now I'm like whatever, decorations and shit are a waste of time.

same here. I'm the same way in the winter. I guess that's why they call it winter downs. I don't know. I guess it's because I always wind up feeling extremely lonely, especially during break, because I don't really get to see many people besides my mother on break. and, that always makes for tension.

up until about a year ago, her and I would always get into arguements consistently, the week before christmas. :shrug:
I've been feeling apathetic about life, in general.

christmas has been a crappy time since my grandma passed away. my family hates each other now and constantly fights. everyone complains about money and how there is none but expects a huge christmas. and i fuckin hate working in retail during the holiday's.

it's gotten to the point to where I dread breaks, because we're both home, 24/7, and all we do is fight. but me and my older brother are going up north for a week, so hopefully that'll be nice.

yeah, my parents are divorced and my mom complains about money all the time. I also feel so bad for her because she's alone, is going to have to move out of our house where we grew up, etc etc.

And I have no grandparents anymore. It's always weird without them there. My mom's side of the family is so boring...I remember playing pool and things back in the day with the adults, but no one does ANYTHING anymore. We sit around, eat...talk about bullshit, watch my cousin (around 8) open presents. It also makes me depressed seeing him get every video game and system ever. Not that I didn't or anything...just the fact that the little kid NEVER sees the light of day, I'm assuming. No wonder he's fat. Glad my parents got me my first video game system at like 12...at least I was able to go outside and play during my childhood. (Speaking of which, does anyone ever see kids playing outside anymore? I don't. Not even like...sledding. Not like it used to be, at least. At any rate, no one drinks at our holiday festivities, so I'm assuming that me getting utterly trashed wouldn't be appropriate either.

it's gotten to the point to where I dread breaks, because we're both home, 24/7, and all we do is fight. but me and my older brother are going up north for a week, so hopefully that'll be nice.

well hopefully this break goes different for you...I hate fighting with my mom. I know that she's got a lot on her hands, and she's alone and depressed with things, but somehow we always end up fighting, and I usually end up hating myself or her for it because I really, simply just want to come home and have a enjoyable relationship and time with my mother. Just to chill...talk about things...not be nagged constantly or bombarded with questions or comments about how I'm not wearing enough layers or I shouldn't be dirving in this weather balbhalbhalba. I'd love to converse with her like adults, someday you know?

thanks. I know what you mean. my mom gets really depressed as well. and I try to talk to her about stuff, and she nags a lot. which in turn makes me unwilling to talk to her. which just makes her even more mad.

i agree. unfortunately I don't think my mom's ever going to reach enough rationality to be able to sustain an real conversation without her going beserk, one way or another.

I'm sorry...sucks to be let down all the time. Unfortunately I was one of those kids who got everything they wanted when they were little (but looking back on it, it was half shit I didn't need...like an actual Karate outfit that I may have wore ONCE outside, lol). And thank you notes were a bitch, haha. I hated them at the time.

if my family held more interesting and fun and warm gatherings, I would love it tpo. I remember going to my ex-gf's Christmas, and it was amazing. Everyone was joking, playing around, having a fun time. Ours are just so drab and dull...maybe it's because everyone in my family is too old, or something. I don't know.

friends? I'm assuming?

And I wouldn't mind snow, but since I live in Wisfuckinsconsin, our winter is forever. And parking is a BITCH on our campus in snow, plus they have ridiculous rules about alternate side parking and snow emergencies (basically everytime it snows). Really pumped to add to my ticket collection this season, lol.

95 % of this thread is the story of my life right now. I always feel depressed between Thanksgiving - New Years. I don't see the point in buying gifts ("Love you, Dad, here's a gift card for Home Depot"). I don't even want anything. My stepdad's parents kind of held his side of the family together, but now that they're both gone, he and his brothers don't get along, so it's just my mom (she's an only child, so no family on her side) and him at out house (if my brother and I go to out dad's.) Oh, the drama. If we go to our dad's house, our half sister expects all the attention and gifts under the sun, but at least the house it filled with family. I don't see the point in decorations, either. $48.03 for a tree that's going to be thrown out in a week or two? An electric bill out the ass because of lights? All to show people that you celebrate a holiday, which doesn't even relate to most decorations. I went into the card store with my mom this evening and she told me to go away so she could buy me a card. I told her, "Save the $4 and just tell me 'Merry Christmas.'"

I'm just in my "Do we realllllly need to waste money on that?" mind set.

the decorations thing would get to me if my mom still bought them She puts up a mini plastic tree in an effort to keep our house a little christmasy...but she doesn't have time for anything else, let alone the money. I like your mentality about the card...and the whole buying gift cards thing, I know where you're coming from there too. I'll be getting my dad the same borders gift card that I do every fucking year. ...woo.

ha! this year is the first year i decided to live dangerously and do more than buy gift cards. i saved a little money that way, but it was tougher.

this thread is full of depressing sentiment. but, i'm feeling like bitching, so here goes...

I have six weeks off for winter break for school. So, instead of being in SoCal right now, i'm home in Arizona. Oh, Phoenix is nice, you say? NO. Because I'm in Tucson. Fucking Tucson. The middle of nowhere, a town small enough to not have any entertainment/things to do and anywhere I go, I happen to run into yet another person I went to high school with that I would be content not seeing for the rest of my life. And it wasn't a huge high school... it was just small enough that I know everyone I graduated with, so we both recognize each other, do the obligatory "hey, how are you? how've you been" bullshit and then walk off bitching about how that was so-and-so, who you last saw at graduation and oh haven't they gotten prettier/fatter/whatever.

Christmas use to be my favorite holiday, my favorite time of the year. It was perfect. Now it's deciding whether I want to spend the day with my Mom/Step-Dad/Step-sister or my Dad. And wherever I go is where my sister goes. Either way, I'm going to end up feeling bad about the decision I make, especially if it means that my Dad is by himself. I smile and nod and act like everything's just peachy off at school... it has to be for the over $40k they're sacrificing for me to attend, right? Even if right now I'm wondering what grades I got and if I passed... though I really can't check since I have a financial hold right now.

/rant. I feel a bit better...

About the high school things....I hate that shit. The majority of times I say hi to people on the street from high school, I usually mutter "fucking bitch" after they're out of hearing range. lol

And I'm sorry about your predicament with your family...it's tough. I usually just tell my dad I'll have a day with him off-Christmas just to hang out (which actually ends up being a lot better than any Christmas celebration would have been). The financial hold thing sucks...I know someone going through the exact same thing. They need to be pre-registered for all these classes, but can't because they haven't paid off last semester's tuition...so they'll probably be fucked from going to school this semester.

thanks. i appreciate you saying that. i hope your christmas situation works out, too. and yeah, same thing. i haven't registered for any of my classes [which i'm pretty certain are all full by this point] either. i'm not really sure what i'm doing right now. i want to go back next semester, but i realistically don't see it happening. my mom keeps telling me that i can go back, but i don't see how, much less getting the classes i need in order to graduate on time. it's a headache to deal with, and i wish it would just magically fix itself.

I'm normally alright around Christmas, but this year it has made me feel so crap. Its just been a constant reminder of how ashamed i am of myself and how bad i've fucked up the past year, and how alone i have become as a result of said fucking up. I've never felt more alone in my life. My Birthday is 5 days before Christmas, so that was a massive kick in the balls reminder when that came around too.

Dude, i feel the same way. My love for Christmas has gone down a little bit more each year, I really just don't care. Also, Christmas music depresses the crap out of me!! I dont think i have any reasoning for this, it just is.

12/24/08, 09:10 PM
...horribly depressed, and I don't know why.

My girlfriend just asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I honestly can say I have no desire in receiving anything or giving anything to anyone. Nor am I even excited for the damn thing. I feel like I'm in a giant apathetic state I can't get out of, and right now the only thing good to have come out of Christmas season was Dustin Kensrue's Christmas album, and that's not even because I like Christmas, I just like his damn voice.

/rant.

Anyone else feeling similar/how is everyone feeling about it?? I'm pretty sure this has happened to me every year since college started up.

I know exactly how it feels. About the time I was 10 or so it felt like the thrill had worn off and I figured that was normal. But starting when I was probably 14 or 15 I would get terribly sad, angry, depressed, you name it during Christmas. My parents divorced when I was 16 in December, so needless to say, that didn't help. If anything, it made matters worse. Now I have moments of heightened depression, but I've mellowed out. I can't say I'm ever happy during the holidays, but now it's a isolated bout of nostalgia rather than suicidal misery. So, you're most definitely not alone. "Holidays blues" are way more common than many people think.

went to Milwaukee with my mom. She dropped me off, and I had an awesome time at my gfs with her family, playing games, opening gifts, laughter all around. I envy their ability to get along so well and have such a dynamic, caring family environment. Mom then comes picks me up later at night. She's stressed because she got lost (while it was snowing/icy raining), yelled at me for apparently misleading her with directions, and then proceeds to nag at me for everything she could possibly think of.

Ensue epic fighting / me threatening to jump out of the fucking car considering how depressed I've been lately (literally opening the door on the interstate). Ensue "fuck yous" from mother to me...more fighting, then me balling into tears explaining everything WRONG with my life lately (a lot), my mom telling me things are going to be fine and that life doesn't always go as planned and then she tells me I should see a therapist. then awkward silence all the way home.

Now I'm at home depressed as fuck, contemplating starting up drinking every night because I'd rather be numb to all this bullshit.

Pretty uneventful Christmas, I guess.

this thread is full of depressing sentiment. but, i'm feeling like bitching, so here goes...

I have six weeks off for winter break for school. So, instead of being in SoCal right now, i'm home in Arizona. Oh, Phoenix is nice, you say? NO. Because I'm in Tucson. Fucking Tucson. The middle of nowhere, a town small enough to not have any entertainment/things to do and anywhere I go, I happen to run into yet another person I went to high school with that I would be content not seeing for the rest of my life. And it wasn't a huge high school... it was just small enough that I know everyone I graduated with, so we both recognize each other, do the obligatory "hey, how are you? how've you been" bullshit and then walk off bitching about how that was so-and-so, who you last saw at graduation and oh haven't they gotten prettier/fatter/whatever.

Christmas use to be my favorite holiday, my favorite time of the year. It was perfect. Now it's deciding whether I want to spend the day with my Mom/Step-Dad/Step-sister or my Dad. And wherever I go is where my sister goes. Either way, I'm going to end up feeling bad about the decision I make, especially if it means that my Dad is by himself. I smile and nod and act like everything's just peachy off at school... it has to be for the over $40k they're sacrificing for me to attend, right? Even if right now I'm wondering what grades I got and if I passed... though I really can't check since I have a financial hold right now.

/rant. I feel a bit better...

I'm normally alright around Christmas, but this year it has made me feel so crap. Its just been a constant reminder of how ashamed i am of myself and how bad i've fucked up the past year, and how alone i have become as a result of said fucking up. I've never felt more alone in my life. My Birthday is 5 days before Christmas, so that was a massive kick in the balls reminder when that came around too.

I hate the fact that my parents smother me in presents and like half of the stuff they buy, I never use. My mother told me this year I am getting one present, an expensive one, and I am 'guaranteed to love'. It is either A. A new car, which I doubt because I already pretty much own my father's Mazda 3 and I fucking love that car to death. (I actually yelled at the top of my lungs at a 15 year old girl and her mother for bumping the back of my car so slightly it literally left only a half inch wide black spot.) B. A Playstation 3, C. A very large TV, which I doubt because I just bought a 27" 1080P television this past June, for myself. I can't really think of any others, except maybe a trip or something. Maybe a hooker.

But my family really does nothing special for it, I mean yeah we get presents..but like all my extended family doesn't get together or anything.

I used to just hang out with my exboyfriend all day because he was jewish so christmas was of no importance to him.

But now we're not dating sooo, i'll probably just like, watch tv all day and sit on the internet. but the internet will be inactive because everyone else does shit on christmas
fml

Yeah my family doesn't do anything crazy special either so I usually end up eating the big dinner my mom makes. Then I just sit on the damn computer too. Sucks.

It's so lame. It makes me so jealous of everyone who has huge families and like people fly in from other states and stuff. It seems so fun.

Ted Danson in Becker said it best.

Holidays suck. I mean, you start at Thanksgiving with an idea of what things should be. By Chirstmas, all your dreams are shot to hell. Everyone drinks on New Years Eve to forget about how bad the past month was. Then they start the new year with their heads in the toilet, which is pretty symbolic if you think about it.

exactly my family's problem. the tension is soo bad over the holidays..makes me not want to go.

i used to love christmas..and but with all the bickering and the fact that i associate christmas with a failed transplant..im much happier skipping.

christmas isn't the same since my parents divorced. my dad doesn't have anything to do with me and my mom barely has the money each year cause of all my dad has financially put her through. yeah, i ask for things but never expect them, and i'm never disappointed. i would rather see her able to pay her bills than see her get me the latest ipod or something.

my dad is a fucking douche. and that's the main reason christmas typically depresses me. i hope this year is different, ya know?

Alas, no, not since that one time. I pretty much fail at bringing the girls to the yard. And by the yard I mean my room.

essentially in the same boat. My parents got a divorce in the summer and it really hasnt affected me until now. I just dont like the holiday season anymore. All I want is a little bit of money to make sure I dont miss a payment on my cell bill.

Idk, I can't handle x-mas sometimes, I feel bad for the people who can't afford presents for thier family, and kids who don't celebrate x-mas as part of thier religion, but being surrounded at school by people who do.
I like the holiday season it self though. Yet I don't like the stress. It's fun when your little.

I know this will sound ridiculous, childish, immature whatever.. but I really do hate christmas...
and unfortunately due to some things in my family that occured in the past i have quite good reasons to hate it that much... it just brings back such painful memories... Not to mention the New Year. I think I'll go nuts this year. I even found some very old christmas cards.. and it was so painful to read them. I hope that december will be over quickly.

The older you get, the sentiment goes with it.
Everything I'll get this year, I could buy with the wages I earn from working.

The build up is just daft. Christmas arrives and then, it's over.
When you have a small family and you've got a small social circle, it's not really fun.

But if I had a girlfriend, I'd probably be saying something completely different.

xmas is great when it's not being hosted at your house. or else your mom goes psycho and bitches at you to clean the already immaculate house and since you're indian it's not like you even celebrate xmas anyway and long gone are getting presents, even though you decorate a tree and put up lights, nevermind you still haven't gotten anything for your birthday that was 10 days ago.

me and my sisters (i have a step sister and a half sister) were talking about how some gifts are just a givin as your kids grow up..like a digital camera...never have ever owned one or received one as a gift lol...and its not even just that...its whether or not my dad decides to show up ..with his gf and her lil girl...whom apparently most of my dads side think is his..but he says she's not but he also said that about my half sister..lol and i neverrr drink in front of my mum's family..they wouldnt be pleased lol...whatever i much prefer Fourth of July..warm weather, cook outs, long islands, good friends , and fireworks! prob why i love new years too. =) i feel ya KevO...we've only got umm 3 mmore months of this shit weather??
