I'm done working so I am frappy my mind.....Get to work haha
Eleven days ago a friend I was helping to move jumped out his seventh floor window. He was depressed over being evicted and having to give up a bunch of furniture and stuff, as the eviction was effective in a few hours. He wasn't a close friend, but we had done a few things together since the summer. He passed away later in the hospital.
My mom also passed away November, 2010. She was 83, so it wasn't a big shock, but very difficult to see her the last days with a heart pump and respirator. My two brothers and father are very supportive.
On the brighter side, December gigs have been plentiful. I had five music jobs last weekend, and four this coming one. January still looks bleak, though.
Sorry. Forgot who I was talking to. :hug:Like that's a first.

Well, count me in. First Christmas alone ever. Recently divorced, wife is intolerable and I will have my three kids on Christmas Day, but lose all the Christmas Eve and Santa morning traditions this year. Starting over sucks.
Now I am laughing. LPSG therapy, throw the key away and your clothes. hahaha :biggrin1:We need a LPSG party for those of us with depression - would give us all time to chat in a big group therapy type thing. HOpefully get us through the holiday blues.
Clothing optional of course.
yer stull fookt.If you're not careful, Hick, you're going to give yourself a good name. :wink:

the most depressing thing about holiday depression is when you still can't escape the holidays even though you want nothing to do with them.... it seems easier to just drink a whole lot of scotch, choke down dinner and exchange niceties with people under a fog of intoxication than to have family and friends guilt-tripping and arguing with me to get out and spread some cheer....
there is nothing worse than people making me feel bad for feeling bad.... that's MY job....
I have another year of trotting dinner into an 'old folks home' to spend time with a grandpa I adore but, who has year over year slowly lost the shine in his eyes...he is wheelchaired now, so even less in the way of options. I bring grub for the nurses and wayward souls there with no family at ALL but....with friends all far afield and no siblings, it makes for a quiet day absolutely devoid of any remotely traditional or conventional Christmasy feel. I had xmas with my friends 2 days ago...thank dog for that, we spoil each other. The next 3 days will be thankfully days off work but not spent with pleasure really. Marijuana when done nights sure helps.
