In reply to Feeling blue. No plans for the 4th, posted by Cass on July 2, 2000, at 0:23:57
Hi Cass,
I tend to feel blue on holidays, too. Based only on my own personal experience, I can say that sitting there and feeling sorry for yourself will only make matters worse. Even though I am on medication for depression, I can still sit around on my pitty pot and feel sorry for myself. Look around you. There is bound to be someone else that doesn't have plans and would appreciate the company. Or call and invite yourself to someone else's event. Been there, done that, and it works. I have also found that working on a project around the house takes up my time so I can't sit around and feel sorry for myself. I have discovered that feeling sorry for myself is an indulgence that I can't afford. The above is only my opinion based on my experience. Good luck, Cass.
