Anyone else find themselves a little bit down or even depressed on the build up to Xmas day or even over the whole of the Xmas period.
I don't know why but for the last 4/5 years I always feel a little down or dare I say depressed on the build up to Xmas day. I can't just put my finger on the reason for this. I don't mind shopping for presents putting up the Xmas tree and cards even cooking Xmas Dinner for the folks, girlfriend, son and myself. I just can't figure out why. I know many more people much worse off than myself so I should be happy it's weard or am I just weard.
Anyone else out there find they feel the same or am I the only one. |

You're not the only one. I've lost numerous family members over the years during December and January so the sooner February rolls around the better.
I don't get involved in putting up decorations and gift buying is done out of habit more than anything else.
Likewise with parties.
On here I don't take part in any thread that is linked to Christmas.
It used to be a much greater struggle than it is now and the dark days are behind me thankfully but those connotations just put me off the entire thing. |

You aren’t the only one OP. Xmas isn’t my favourite time of the year due to a few personal reasons. I make the effort for everyone I need to but I also know that my heart isn’t 100% in it and that’s ok |

Sorry for your losses and hope things continue to get better for you over time.
I to have lost family members over the years around this time of year. Maybe that could be an underlying reason for my downer on the Xmas build up and I just didn't link it.

Your definitely not alone! I’ve not enjoyed or looked forward Christmas for years, the sooner it’s over the better. I avoid all Christmas stuff as much as I can  |
