It's the holiday's and I'm extremely depressed. I'm failing this semester of Uni, I got dumped a couple weeks ago, I'm dumping a bad friend I've had for 16 years, I'm broke, not too happy about the way I look either. It just seems that everything that could go wrong has.....I'm not sure how to deal....it's Christmas and everyone around me is so happy but I'm down....any ideas on how to deal?

I know it sounds stupid, but it is a new start which is always hard at first. I just found out my dad has cancer, and I also failed a few important classes in college, but I know things will come around to good again, good luck and don't be to hard on yourself.

Sometime things have a chain reaction. If you got dumped, your probably not doing as good as you could in school, and it would make you edgy with other relationships as well, and that would all make you extremely depressed, which in turn, you wouldn't care about how you look either! It just keeps snowballing, you have to realize that in order to put a stop to some of this. Some of it you can create yourself unintentionally! Try to think positive thoughts, and turn things around one at a time! Cheer up!

Poor thing, I can sympathize. My husband just lost his job after a year and I don't work. We are eating canned soup and beans for dinner until he gets a job and I am working as a temp at a title company for the rest of this week for a little money. he is a Computer Technician, so I am not too worried about him getting a job but the bills are piling up and it is easy to get depressed about the situation we are in. However, I just count my blessing, which are our health, we have many friends that care and love us, GOD, and, of course, there is always hope for tomarrow-a better day. I hope you pick yourself up and see that life isn't all that bad. It could be worse, ya know. Think about life as a paraplegic, blind, orphaned, starving, no hope at all. Count your blessings, kid, everyday!

i know your situation seems bad, and it sounds pretty bad. But really there are worse things that could've happened, and are happening to other people in the world. There are people that are wondering if they are going to survive the cold this winter. Where they're going to get their nect meal. Whether they pay for heat or food. I'm sorry that you're going through such a bad time, and i'm not going to say i know b/c honestly i don't but when something bad heppens something good has to happen b/c when you hit rock bottom there's no where else to go but up. Keep you're head up, and try to pull through, it's hard but you'd be surprised how many people are willing to help you.

I'm sorry things aren't going well.
There may be people in nearby rest homes who would welcome one or more visitors this holiday season, though, so I would encourage you to check around and see who would welcome a visit. You might be able to bring cheer to someone who would have spent the holidays alone.
Good luck, and may the new year bring many fresh opportunities.

Do things that you associate with innocent happiness nd remember that you are greater than the experiences life tosses at you.
