I am feeling a little sad this holiday season because......
... I haven't celebrated christmas in years. I don't feel welcome in my community's religious circles, terrible things always seem to happen around this time of year. The people around me seem happy but shame those who are not being festive. I miss the sun, I miss being warm.
U called me. The clouds called me and said u missed the 🌞 lol. Happy holidays. Do t feel down. I am here alone with my dog playing guitar. Life is what we make of it.@GlassTree
Broke up with BF
Work rush, personal problems, and lack of sleep...already cried twice this Christmas Eve night..
My mom is in the hospital. Praying that she gets better
I feel alone and sad
No support from people around me ever though they say they are, my illnesses and other related issues.
The first year after a divorce and I'm alone on Christmas
U will be ok butterfly.@autismbutterfly
I'm sad because 2 years ago at Thanksgiving my grandmother passed. We never had our last Christmas there. She had 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Four months later in March my father died. Causing my sister's and my relationship to pretty much end.
My mom's sisters moved, her Mom died, her husband of 47 years died, the house she(we) grew up in is sold, our beach house sold.
My grandmother was the glue. My dad's death tore my sister and aunt's apart. My mom is sad. Basically everything sucks.
@EnergySensitive wow, I can't even begin to imagine how hard that is for you. Especially around the holidays like this. I want to say though that you are so strong!
@JesseM1 Thank you so much. You don't know how much that response meant to me. It's been a hard weekend and I still have today to get through.
Hope you have a good holiday.
@EnergySensitive You've made it this far, I know you can make it through today too. Like I said, you're really strong for making it through this. I'm really impressed. I can only imagine what it would do to me if I was in that situation.
Happy holidays to you too
I feel like no one will listen to me. I am trying so hard to reach out to the people I am closest to right now, but I feel like such a burden to everyone and all I'm doing is bringing them down which makes them not want to be around me. I feel like maybe I'm not the better person I thought I was turning out to be and that it turns out no one actually likes me anymore for who I am. And that they don't want to deal with me anymore. I feel I have nowhere to go anymore and my support groups don't care about me anymore
@JesseM1
That's terrible. I am hesitant to talk about my feelings with anyone, so I understand the struggle of opening up to someone. I really hope everything works out for you soon 
@CautiousUniorn373
Thank you. That really means a lot. I'm very shy and always have had a hard time opening up to anyone about my feelings or even just talking to anybody in general. So I get that. But hey, if you ever want to talk to someone, I'm happy to listen to you anytime.
@JesseM1
I'd love that, thank you! I'm pretty new to the site and I'm not quite sure how I would chat with you outside of this forum, but please don't feel obligated to listen (and now I'm the one concerned about being a burden, but oh well). I don't feel I've been getting enough support from my friends either, and that hurts, so thank you for the offer. I'd love to take you up on it as long as I'm not a burden. I'm also willing to listen if you ever want to talk to someone, so please feel free!
@CautiousUniorn373 You're never a burden. I know I always try and do everything I can for my friends I'm closest to, and I'm happy to do the same for you. I haven't played around too much on this site with personal messaging and such so I'm not too sure how it works, but I'd love to chat with you. I appreciate it :-)
@JesseM1
No problem! I look forward to chatting with you should we find a way to do so. I don't know of a way to chat privately on 7Cups, but I'm open to using something like Skype if you're up for it 
I care.... @JesseM1
@9thSun
Thank you. That really does mean a lot.
@JesseM1 I feel exactly the same way. I feel like such a needy burden. No one wants to address it. My support system is crumbling. I don't know how to pm on this site but we should definitely connect.
@EnergySensitive I'm not sure how to pm either honestly, but I'd love to connect. I understand that, I almost never want to talk to my friends and support group when I feel down anymore because I feel I'm just getting annoying and I'd bring them all down. Especially around any holidays, my depression is the worst then
@JesseM1 I too hate that you are feeling that way but it is understandable! Just know sometimes there's strangers out here that actually care and make a world of difference.
@dynamicHuman5944 Thank you, that really means so much <3
@JesseM1 I have no idea how to pm. I've searched site. I would like to talk but not pubicly. Maybe we will figure it out!
@EnergySensitive I hope one of us can! I've only used the app on my phone so I'm trying it through the internet browser, and probably my laptop after that
@JesseM1 Ok this may work so we can chat. Go to this site https://stin.to/t18g5. I think I set up a page. If it doesn't work reply here. (Forum- why you are sad this holiday, or something. Page 2 or 3)
@JesseM1 page 2. Took me. Forever to find this post to find you.
The love of my life is across the planet from me and I am in America with someone that I wish was someone else
@JustBETA I can
