The worst time of the year.

I'm sorry this is such a rough time for you, but really--it doesn't have to be! :( I know Christmas has turned into the holiday where everyone gets each other presents, but that's not what Christmas is about. Christmas is about being with family, and they won't stop loving you because you can't get them gifts. Maybe you can make nice homemade presents! Is there anything you're good at doing? There is a store near where I live called As You Wish, where you can go in and paint your own figurines. It's cheap and fun! You could do something like that? Do you know of any stores like that around you? Go visit a craft store, you may find some ideas!! And maybe before any family get togethers you could ask that no one bring up your religion or work situation. Those aren't proper party topics anyways. They need to leave you alone and just let everyone have fun!

this year was the worst for me too.. because i lost my girlfriend and she is nomore.. that made me fall to the ground all of a sudden.. i was not concentrating in my work and i was really not interested live at all, but somehow my friends managed to bring me back to life and now im living.. the impact is still visible in my face and pocket.. so i found this online income to stabilize myself.. and im overcoming it.. it works.. why dont you join your hands with me in making some good part time income online.. im also looking for a nice new friend to overcome the past...

Hello. Yes, there are times when we all find it very hard to get through. The worst time of the year, weatherwise, for me is winter too. It gets so hard to get through the freezing and gloomy days of winter. Very depressing, very stressful. Here is one way which has been very helpful to me in getting rid of or atleast reducing the stresses. It is "Yoga Meditation". I have been practising every evening. It has helped me very well. Yoga Meditation is excellent for physical as well as mental health. You might want to try too ! I am sure it will be very helpful in reducing all the stresses you are having ! Besy wishes to you !

This time of year is very stressful for a lot of people so you're not alone. I used to feel a lot of stress from my family, too, but it does get better as time goes on. As far as your mom goes...it might make you feel bad to accept money from her but it makes her feel good to be able to help you out. My son is having financial problems right now, too, because he's in the construction field. His birthday was on November 14th. and I sent him $100 in a card. I don't normally send that much but I know that times are tough and he needs the help. He called me to protest but it made me feel good to do it. Hang in there. Your life will get better and eventually the holidays won't be so difficult.

I believe that there are many people in the same or similar situation like u, u hae no money so u can't buy christmas presents for ur families, and they will understand u and forgive u, don't worry~ On the other hand, Christermas means happy, means families and friends getting together, presents may be not the most important thing for this DAY~ u will get though this problem soon and next Christermas day u can give them big presents!!

take care friends ~ any worse time will go over,just believe it .find something to make you happy ,Chrismas is such an exciting festival ,there should be happiness but not sadness isn't it ?No matter how much awkful situation we face~~I also have pressure in life everyday ,but give yourself prayer I think it will be better ~best wishes

Hey, hang in there. If you still want to vent, or just talk. I'm still here. PM or send me an email. Just worried about you.

I can feel how depressed you are, I have to face the same situation very year before the Spring Festival holiday, The same big holiday as Christmas in US. I have a whole family to face, My wife, my daughters, my father and mother, my brother and his whole family, verybody. it cost my whole one or two months' salary for this holiday in the past few years, but this year, the financial going bad, but the holiday is coming. you have to make some change, and face the truth. Don't be so sad, life should be better as times going on if you never give up. Happy my lotting, if you feel so bad, Just find some friends or your family to talk about it, I think they will understand you, and help you to overcome the trouble.

Venting is a healthy way to relive stress and deal with sidtuations. No one can ask you to do anymore then your absulute best. Its tough for a lot of people this time of year because they often set to high expections for themselves or feel as they are leting the people they care about down. It may be stressful but I'm sure your family understands, even if they don't quite understand how you feel. Try talking to them first. Even if it doesn't seem as if they are listening, just let it out. It'll help you feel better because its off your chest.

i can understand you so well as i went through the same situation last year! but i kept saying to myself that this is not going to be the end. nor its going to be the same forever! just stay focused my friend. no matter what happens dont leave your confidence and always think, there are people right now having more problems than us. just to motivate yourself!! and regarding the depressions.. to my knowledge its because your restless and thinking of many stuff lately. god bless you! will keep you in prayers. financial crisis will never be same all the time!! dont worry!
