Hiya, Spirits. I think a lot of your feelings are very, very normal. You seem to be very sensitive to the pain of others. You just need to try not to let it engulf you so much that you end up losing yourself in it. This may sound cliche....but try turning it around. You have so much to give....and there are so many who are in need of such a sensitive person....turn the holiday into a time where even if you can make just one person feel special. There can be much pain in families and holidays have a way of magnifying that sometimes....but I sense that in reality you are a pretty strong person. I hope you can find a way to not let all the negative energy and pain inside and that you find a way to send out that positiveness that you have with your sensitivity. You will be surprised who much stronger it will make you. It may sound crazy...but I am really talking from experience. *Hugs, my sweet friend*  |

you know ... our perception of things, and our expectations of what we think things SHOULD be is our problem with the holidays (part of it anyway) we can see the things that are awful, or we can choose to see what is good in it. There is much good we take for granted, perhaps if we didn't do that we would feel better, and if we didn't expect it to be one way, then we wouldn't be disappointed...just some thoughts that help me in this tough holiday season... I am trying hard to make it not a TOUGH one and just a Holiday season to enjoy... Best wishes to you and yours   |

It is good that you can come here and voice your feelings. That is a healthy start to becoming whole. But I'm going to suggest that you get some professional help. I've noticed your depression and it concerns me. There is just so much any of us can do for you. We can be here to listen and offer advice but what you really need is someone in the "real world" who can help you. Do it for yourself. You don't need to suffer like this. If you can't afford it, there are government, non profit and medical programs that can help you in your area. Please check them out and keep me informed. If you need help getting started let me know. *hugs*  |

I'm so sorry, and I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. If you need to talk, just message me, and I'm more then happy to listen (and offer advise if you want).  |

I understand, Spirits. *sigh* I guess the best you can do is look for those who truly are innocent and hurting and try to help them first. The ones who will not turn it against you. Just pick one person who isn't even expecting it and give your love to them. |

Hi, Sweetie,
I hate this time of year I miss so many that are gone all I want to do is sit around and mope. I miss the times that were and can never be again.I try to focus on the good for example my dog,cat, and bird That seems to help I also try to remember the true reason for the season and know that Jesus loves us all equally. But still it is hard just take on day at a time and try to do good things just for you each day Hugs Arwen  |

You did the right thing letting your emotions spill and not bottling them up. I'm sorry about how you feel! I know how you feel! (  |

Don't get upset, SOTD. Everyone has their problems. Just try to let them know you love them, no matter what. This little thing will probably turn their day around...  |

Twin, I know how you are feeling. **big hugglies** but you cannot let this get you down. Its okay to be upseat, but have you ever sat down and talked to your family memebers, tell them of your concerns! Growing up, brings us so many obstacles. And I know, now that I am getting older as well, it seems as though, the things that really meant something when I was litte, no longer have the same impact or meaning anymore. Things in our life will get altered, and plans will have to be changed. I know this christmas time will not be the same for you sweetie, I know that, but.. embrace the family you have with you this year, and be thankful for them. **big hugglies** Love you lots, and you can talk to me anytime.  |

I'm sorry that you hurt so much. Christmas is about Jesus's Birth. You can make your own tradition. Go and be by yourself, go stay at a hotel. Traditions are made to be broken. If I didn't have an 8 year old, I wouldn't spend it with family, I would be off by myself enjoying the time with ME. Life is too short to let the so called holidays bother you. I hope that you feel better, but the world would NOT be better without you in it. Count your blessings and be happy for what you have. The gift of life. Don't take that gift away.  |
