Holidays

The past week has been a blur of Thanksgiving preparations, cooking, shopping and more shopping. At the orthodontist today there was Christmas music playing and two thoughts came over me. The first one being how boring the music is and how it makes me unbelievably sleepy. The second thought was how depressing I find the music to be. It seems dreary even morbid at times. The whole Xmas holiday seems to drag me down. I know it's a combination of childhood memories and financial stress but there's also some seemingly sinister underlying issues at play. I am so anxious and depressed during the holidays. I always feel this sense of impending doom and death. I wish I could understand it. Last year I remember going to my daughter's winter concert and I just started bawling. It wasn't out of joy. It was out of sheer depression.

I feel robbed of joy that should come naturally to me as a mother. It seems like so many life experiences that should have been the high points of my existence were marred by sadness. I wish the shadows that are being cast over my life would lift up and disappear. It is time for the clouds to retreat and allow me some peace. I need peace. I get angry that I use sleep to find peace. There is plenty of time to sleep once I'm dead yet I use so much of my life sleeping just to cope with reality.

I just want to feel like these people walking around in stores with smiles plastered on their faces. I want to feel that even if it's most likely fake. I want to smile and I want to do it like I mean it.

You say what I am feeling so well. Why does it have to be this way for some of us. I sometimes hate to se people being happy because  i am not. I get jealous of them. just to let you know that you are not alone in this.
