Mother's Day

[katniss1209]

I am dreading yet another mother's day to sit alone. Holidays just exacerbate my depression. I'm really looking for a way out prior to this dreaded holiday. Does anyone else experience an increase in depression and anxiety during holidays?

Unfortunately yes so I understand how you feel. I'm sorry.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I suppose I always have, to some extent, but it will be more so now completely being alone.

Do you have children?

It depends. A few holidays I had friends/someone I was interested in around, and those times were tolerable, even nice. But for the most part I would be alone or still dealing with mental issues so they weren't so great. Now I'm to a point where nearly any time that is "free time" for me is becoming increasingly unbearable. Thinking of holidays or even the weekend can be dreadful, but I don't like my day-to-day life either. Not sure what to do with that or the anxiety/depression.

Absolutely… I'm in a pretty basic marriage that barely meets that word, (tho he's very supportive when I'm having a break) but that's it. I doubt he's gonna do anything big for me and my baby will have just turned one. I feel selfish with all these thoughts of suicide I'm having.

Life is just shit right now and I'm over it

I hate every holiday since everything went completely downhill in my life. I'm sorry you are in this boat

 

[FuneralCry]

Any holiday is just another depressing day for me, I do not really celebrate anything. All that I want is to be gone, it just feels so pointless me being alive. I only exist to suffer.

Do you have children?

Yes

 

[luke_skywalker]

Yes

How come you are alone in mothers day?

 

[StarryStarry]

I hate the holidays, all of them.

 

[katniss1209]

How come you are alone in mothers day?

Because nobody cares.
