How Do You Cope With Depression Over The Holidays?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

My depression has been getting worse lately and I was starting to get concerned, than I realized that the holidays are coming up. This happens every year. Only this time I realized it and instead of wondering why I am so depressed. I think I need to have a different approach to this problem. Do any of you have any tricks or advice on how to get through this time of year?

Thanksgiving I thank God for letting me have the time with the friends and family from the past and I'm grateful for everything.
Christmas I thank God for the birth of our Massiah.

As I get older it gets harder because I remember the Christmas's before me and how wonderful most of them were. I just keep busy with enough traditions to keep me on the right track.

I have family drama so I find the holidays real hard. Especially when I see other families getting together and enjoying the holidays.

I think that some of the holiday depression may be from expectations during the holidays.
Has anyone else noticed the whole world is going crazy?!
