 User ID: 31112947  Australia12/23/2019 07:46 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Been with a girl for just over a year. Our anniversary was on the 4th. Her birthday was about one month before, on 11-10. I bought her a few things- a giant stuffed dinosaur, a bottle of single malt scotch, and a set of whisky rocks. She likes that stuff. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76821285 We met in paramedic school. We didn't talk much. Nearing the end of the first semester, my other partner failed out. I always thought she was cute so I decided to go for it. We studied together every single day for months. We bonded. We became boyfriend and girlfriend. We traveled, we went on adventures. I really, really thought she was the one. About a week ago, she said the pressure of our relationship was making her unhappy. She asked for a week off. I agured at first, but I came to the conclusion that there was no talking her out of it. So, I begrudgingly agreed to the week off. I KNEW that she was going to break up with me. One week later, she did. We both passed our national registry exam months ago in September. She waited to apply to jobs for a while for me. I had to wait because I'm worried about failing a urine analysis. She waited for about two months. I still couldn't pass. She applied and got the job. Im still unemployed. She moved on. Here I am a few days before Christmas. Totally alone. No family. No job. I guess no one to blame but myself, Im 38 years old. I've never been married and I have no children. In my 20s I suffered from depression so severe that I lost nearly a decade of my life. For the first time in over a decade I had that gut feeling of panic and hopelessness I haven't felt since. That was yesterday. I know you don't know me but my name is Michael. If anyone is reading this, please, please pray for me because I feel so bad and there's no one around to help me. Please, just wish me happy thoughts. I need them now more than ever.   Hey Michael, You can get through this Christmas by, facing it moment by moment, one day at a time. Just think of what you have survived/endured so far and you are still here. This just shows how strong you really are. Well done, I know/understand it's been far from easy for you. Keep putting one foot in front of the other lifting your self up one step at a time. Please be kind to you, get the rest you need to heal from the breakup and perhaps look into taking a magnesium supplement. Always remember, whatever the situation/feeling: this too will change. I can't promise how it will change, just know that it will.  AdorableLittlepixie I am safe and protected with every step I take with everybody always. |

Quoting: CitizenPerth The best I've ever heard was it is "Just another day", and including "Just another week if you count New Year".. Silly season if you will... It still doesn't help that for some people? everywhere you look is all this hype and fake happiness... Truth is, MOST people find it miserable, tedious and expensive, but keep up the Charade for friends, family and children.... Don't be lonely or sad, just let it all out here :) Always alone, who cares. was probable a demon my other life. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78253313 Australia12/23/2019 08:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My advice is to take on Christmas by being positive and optimistic... and allowing it to give us what it offers :) <3 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72646827 Yeah its great. Yet another christmas where I dont see or hear from my kids. Yet another christmas utterly alone in the fucking desert. Im having a fucking AWESOME time. Not. I hear ya. My son doesn't get to see his kids either, which means I don't get to see my grandkids :( We don't do Christmas anymore, it's a sad day for more and more people every year. I'll be heading down to the beach, where the others hang out that don't do Christmas anymore, for various reasons. I'll be thinking of my son, fifo in the desert, and all the others like him and you. Hang in there, Try an stay cool, and safe from the fires.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78239557 United States12/23/2019 08:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyway the last two years I make Christmas about the death of the old and in with the birth of the spring. This year I brought inside some pepper plants along with my tropical plants to help cheer me up. They have budded and bloomed even tho it's less than 30 degrees outside. I have jalapeño's, cherry peppers, wandering you, palms, sweet potato vine, and palms. I've made sure my squirrels, birds and rabbits have shelter, food, and water. Snuggled with my indoor domesticated pets and I feel pretty good about all of that this year. Already looking forward to the birth of spring and 2020. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78084014 United States12/23/2019 02:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have battled depression off and on my whole life, and always get down this time of year. I can't complain, very blessed but still I battle with this. The brain is a funny thing, I argue with myself about this often. My bills are paid and my family is healthy, snap out of it! But yet... Christmas makes me melancholy, thinking of the past and people I've lost. I know there's the seasonal aspect as well... cold dark days stuck inside. To all of you who are feeling sad for various reasons, I send you good vibes and lots of love. If I could, I would wave a magic wand and help each and every one of you, and i mean that sincerely |

I have no tree, no lights. I bought just a few presents for the few people I truly care about. I have thrown myself pity parties in the past admittedly but now I just don't care. If anything it inspires me to give to the less fortunate and that's it these days. |
