Christmas thru a grey filter

Chirstmas time is usually full of colour and fun but imagine seeing the world thru a grey filter, there is no colour and everything looks so dull and lifeless. The site of tinsel and Christmas decorations bringing intense depression to your heart. The thought of spending another year without that someone special that you loved makes everything seem meaningless and you know that the only 'present' that would make you happy is having that person back.
The feeling of dread filling you as you realise you will be spending this time of the year pretending to be happy, pretending to be someone you are not and all you want is to disappear. You hear other people talking about Christmas and you just let out a sad sigh that everyone else seems so excited.
So you sit there for a while brooding and decide to write down your story and post it on one of your favourite sites, you don't want anyone's sympathy or advice, you just want someone to understand what you mean when you say that this year you will 'be seeing Christmas thru a grey filter', just so that you know that you are not alone.

@Mckz

Hi there,

I just wanted to say, thank you for making the effort to open your feelings here today, I think many people here in our community will relate to your emotions and feelings, and may well feel the same as you do during the festive season, I would suggest, you have also made a few people feel a little better to know that they are not alone during this time, so thank you for reaching out to them and sharing your thoughts.

Best wishes dear! I hope happiness comes knocking on your door soon!
