it was maybe at age 8 my aunt died and i was adopted at age 5 do you think that my aunt that i got close to first in my new family may have something to do with my depression or is it something else my question is what do you think makes me feel depressed every christmas and then it goes away after words and how can i make it not come back or is it always just going to be part of my life. i feel so fresh and happy now. but around november it will return once again.
so what do you think about it?
just a thought so be nice i know alot of people try to be mean but, try to understand others feelings on things and good luck with the question......Happy New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

since you know that you get depressed and you know why; choose not to let it get you down.....choose to celebrate your aunts life and be happy you were a chosen child!

My god! You have almost perfectly described me. Last year, one of my friends had amatuerly diagnosed me with depression, and my teachers often have me stay after class and ask if I'm ok. School is an enormous pressure on my back. Last year I was bullied constantly, due to being overweight. This has contributed more stress, and hatred of school. I have to make honor roll every marking period, or I come home hearing about my older and little brother's grades. I'm in an AP class, and its dificult for me to continue on the way I have been. I often arrive home and start crying, because I can't handle it. I have like, 2 real friends, but I don't tell either about my life, because I don't need their sympathy, and I don't want to mess up their lives with my stupid problems. Lately, I have given up Band7 as well as Orchestra, and it's kind of helping. I also suggest that that you discuss with your mom what you've just revealed on yaho answers, and maybe she can help you solve the situation. Chances are, she went through it too! ok, so here are my suggestions: STart a diary/journal, pour your heart out Talk with your mom Talk with your teachers Drop any extra classes like Band, or something else YOGA!! I also kinda have a weird question for you: Lately, I haven't been sleeping much, I have permanent bags under my eyes, and my face is white as a corpse. Is it the same for you, or other depressed ppl? I wear black tho, so may it be the contrast? I'm not goth, emo, or a cutter, so don't worry.

Well, did your aunt die around the Christmas holidays?
If so, there's your problem! A loved one dying is the number one cause for depressing and you're not alone. I lost a grandfather and I get into this depression stage every time the day he died rolls around. Maybe go to the doctor and ask for anti-depressants.
But hey, just remember one thing. Your aunt is in a better place! She's up in heaven and she wouldn't want to see you feeling like this, would she?
Hope this helped!

Around November you know the holidays are coming, and if you are on a fixed income, You worry about paying all your bills, and buying things for the people that mean the most to you. Now that it is all over with, you don't have to worry about any of it anymore. If you know it is going to happen then sit down and plan for it. Don't let the depression get the better of you. Hope you have a wonderful NEW YEAR!!!!

A lot of people have unreasonable expectations about being imbued with some type of "unspeakable joy" during the holidays. Part of the reason is commercial. Warm fuzzies sell products!
As for your grief, it can be an anniversary thing, of course. I think you need to work your way through it in therapy long before the next holiday season. Why go through such a thing annually?
Don't want to go to therapy? Think of something you can do to be a memorial to your aunt around that time of year. Volunteer for a charity that deals with whatever affliction caused her death, if it wasn't from natural causes.

I'm also glad Christmas is over, but my emotions don't suddenly change, rather it's a slow, steady increase from now, until about a couple weeks from now. I tend to avoid New Years parties, as I'm still not "up" enough to be around happy partyers yet, but by the 2nd or 3rd week of January I'm good to go.
I can't help you as to why you feel this way, but I can assure you you're not alone in this.

I think it has a lot to do with how you feel around Christmas..When the Holidays come around you are reminded of your aunt and just how much you miss her...It could very well be the stress in itself with Christmas...All the shopping you have to do...planning visits with family....the money you end up spending.....Can make any sane person depressed sometimes! Glad to hear that you are feeling better....Have a Great New Year!!

I lost my Father when I was only 19 years old and he died on Easter.
I didn't let it ruin every single Easter from then on.
People are born and people die every single day.
Death is part of life.
Talk to someone....carrying greif like you describe isn't normal.
