And I assumed Christmas depression was bundled under the umbrella of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which typically occurs in winter around and after Christmas for some people.
The post was my reaction to seeing the ad for “selling” videos and tapes to “fix” it. If you would rather I remove the post, please say so and I will. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, least of all people who have depression.
I think you’re right, Valerie. For one thing, It creeps out as soon as Halloween is over with. That’s way, way too soon! When it’s out in front of us that long, it gets to be too familiar and that takes some of the mystery and magic away.
I’d love to “harness that fuzzy feeling of old”, too.
Depression cannot be "cured"- it remains part of a person's psychology at certain times in their life for the rest of their life (I have it).
I’m sorry to hear that, David. I didn’t mean to put down depression in any way. I know it’s very painful to have.
I was under the impression that '“Christmas” depression was different and it was only attached to Christmas.

Again, I’m sorry, David.
Great advice! 🥰
Thank you, Tracy.😊💞
I too find stepping outside my state of mind helpful when I feel down- children, animals and nature in general are the best! 🥰
Whatever works for each of us —your choices sound perfect!
😊😊😁
My sister and I talked, yesterday, about how Christmas seems ‘flat’ these days. Joy gone out of it. I would love to harness that fuzzy feeling of old.
