December 2022 Events - The Holidays
Hi Depression Support!
I'm super excited to announce our final event of 2022: the holidays!
Our community will be celebrating the holidays throughout the rest of December.
Although the holidays can be a fun time of the year filled with happiness, celebrations and quality time, it can also be a time filled with loneliness, reflection, and depression for many people. All of these feelings towards the holidays are totally normal and okay - we all have our own experiences with this time of year and it's important to recognize and validate all of our feelings.
We will have lots of different forum posts, discussions, icebreakers, and group support discussions happening in our depression support room! Everything will be linked and added to this masterpost for easy access <3

Love the masterpost and shouldn't it be final event of 2022? 😂
@azuladragon34
Ahh yes! I must have been thinking final event before 2023 and final event of 2022 and mixed them :p Thank you for catching that!
@EmmaE
No worries! I think most of us are excited for 2023. I am for certain looking forward to 2023 ❤️

Since we moved into new house right before the Christmas holidays and been to relatives one day now
I'm starting to get real sad and depressed everyday this sadness just won't go away like it used before holidays been very sad for me this time missing my big family missing my old home missing everything still try to write out everything express my feeling reaching for help I want this to come to end very soon A
I just don't want to be this sad all
the time of the holidays but I can't do anything to cheer myself up I'm good a while then back to immense sadness rip me this time but I promise to pray god will surely find a way for me and us to feel better it's just that now I don't know the way haven't figured it out yet Goodnight all
it's okay to feel this that way
alone in my room but not alone here and with plushies of course🙏🏻💚💜💙🥺🎄still believing in Christmas magic🍀☘️happy holidays😭💜💚💙❤️
