Georgia2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Normally I didn't feel this bad for the past several years around the holidays. But since I was in a serious relationship earlier this year it is more hard this year. Anyone else feel this way? I'm trying to keep busy. I do have hobbies and I am also watching DVDs I bought recently.
TigerLilly78 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah my last 5 or 6 holiday seasons was like that a real drag to get thu towards the end it was really bad I didn't even bother decorating or anything Xmas was just another day litterialiy im sorry your feeling this way it sucks..
JDPT Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I actually thought about that today and got depressed for about 2 seconds. 1
me85 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 My friend, that's all any of us singles can do. Especially during this time of year. I'm going through the same thing. It really sucks.
katiemiller Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I feel you. Especially because this time last year, I was with my ex and we were so happy. It's hard for me because I think of our fun vacation we took and it makes me miss him. Or at least miss having a significant other to do those things with. I have a lot of friends and I am still optimistic, but it does get a little depressing now and then.
Chris715 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah I actually have been thinking about this lately too. I get really nostalgic around this time of year, especially with all the cold, snowy weather we've been getting (I dunno, I'm weird) and I've been thinking about family and relationships a lot. The logical part of my brain knows I'm in no shape for a relationship right now and that all they've done over the past few years is cause me immense amounts of pain, so a break would probably be good. On the other hand, like you said, I think more and more about it this time of the year, so it sucks. And I'm 23, probably waaaay too young to be having any of these thoughts.
Feelbettersoon Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I normally go all out for the holidays but I'm terrified this year since my BU, since my last holidays were amazing. I think this year I'll put them on hold until next year when I'm feeling better
johnson_j Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 It could be better but I'm quite relieved I don't have any stress or drama this Christmas. It's going to be much more peaceful than last year, for sure.
creyente7 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 You're not alone bro. Although I had a long distance relationship. I was still emotionally attached to someone during those Holidays the past 2 years. Spending thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years without her this year will be really lonely. It Will be really sad, but it's a family holiday so I'm going to Try my best to focus on family instead.
BC1980 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 The holidays have a way of reminding you that you are single. It sucks because I used to plan stuff for my ex's son. It's kind of a sad reminder. 1
Arient Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Turn to your family, if able, to lessen the feelings of loneliness. I know it will not solve 100% but somehow will manage to keep our minds off the ex and the great time together. But damn, I really have to admit that this time of the year is so hard to cope with, I broke down and cried today just because of the weather, it reminded me so much about my ex and it brought my mood down drastically. Winter, go away (
maybenot Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah - I am feeling totally the same. Had the most amazing Christmas with my bf last couple of years. We were really happy and had a ball. Now I am all alone and have to spend it with siblings who are all happily married and have kids... As if I wasn't aware of how alone I was... Anyway, luckily I have 2 very good single friends so we are all thinking of going away together for the whole festive period... Or maybe that is just running away??

I could not stand being around them. They made me more uncomfortable than anyone ever has. 1
