Gee, I think I have found my people! My depressed, despairing people!
I don’t have too much to add to what’s already been said, but one thing that helps me is to not worry about things I can’t control. And that’s a lot of stuff. You can only do the best you can do, and then say fuck it.
That’s the Bomb, right there. Thx, Dung.
It can help to talk to someone, even if that person can’t solve your problems. Just sharing your burdens can make them easier to deal with. Do you have friends you can do this with? Some people are reluctant to tell others about their problems, but a true friend will listen.
I don’t know the nature of your obligations. Are there ways you can get help or otherwise ease your load that you haven’t tried? For instance, if you’re someone’s caregiver, are there agencies or programs that could help?
It sounds like you’re under a lot of stress. Try to be good to yourself. Fit something into your schedule that brings happiness or relaxation. Get some exercise, if you can. Make sure you’re eating well. And whatever you do, don’t criticize yourself because you’re having a hard time keeping up.
Hang in there, WildBlueYonder. Please come back and tell us how you’re doing.
Yes, come check in. We worry about you. Hope you’re feeling better.
St Germain: Wish there was something, my husband has been sick for a long time, if he could find something that he could do when a migraine isnt keeping him in a dark room most of the day and sometimes the next, would be the answer. thanks
Annie Xmas: I know. Its my advice too but this time it was just too deep of a pit to climb higher to a better place, I did eventually that morning-thanks
Not what you’d expect: Thanks!!
Purplehorseshoe:so true! Thanks
Smartaleq: I have therapy. With or without, the same thing would have happened that morning. Just takes time to get thru it, just the morning, a little longer than usual. thanks!
knowedout:you know exactly where I was at that morning! Appreciate that and your comments!
beckdawrek: that does happen and is the norm…not sure it always happens that way! 
Inigo: I see life as reincarnation. You get to come back over and over until you get it right? No 
But really. Life is what you make good things happen with others. Give and give some more. Make at least one person better each day…works for me, or more people even. I try to remember that and did quite a few times since that morning.
GATO: I sure wish I could. Diabetic an imaginary long island ice tea would be very nice!
Tubadiva: Each load makes me stronger, I know this. I can tell since I have helped others that have been in my place. That person becomes stronger as well, thanks Tuba!
thanks Sunny!
love you Dung! I give out that advice about controlling things all the time!
Jeff: I had no one that early morning so that is why I came here…I had to lay down my burdens or I would have cried so much more! Oh yes, more stressful this whole year than usual. I dont usually have that many emotional break downs but more stress on top of stress sometimes is more than you can handle and this was just that one time-thanks Jeff
thanks to everyone, your support is wonderful!
Well, gosh. You answered each and every one of us, that was nice!
How are you hanging in there today?
Buy a bullet
Rent a gun
Warning Issued for being a jerk.
Banned from this thread. Do not post here again.
It’s been a few days, WildBlue.…how are you?
Note that for every word of support you’ve received here, there are likely dozens and dozens of others who also care but have not posted.
Wishing you the best,
mmm
That’s completely true and well said.
I second (third?) That.
How are you doing?
We’re all in the same boat, WildBlue. It’s easy to look at the face that others put out to the world & think that everyone else’s life rocks & only yours sucks (esp in the age of social media). I don’t know the specifics of your situation, but remember that everyone you see is carrying a burden you know nothing about. IOW you are in good company! Hang in there!!
I hope I didnt miss anyone
Hanging in, but still down. My family doesnt seem to like Christmas much.
Saw my son today and he didnt want to take any yummies home! Now who can I get all these goodies to?? Any takers in here? Anyone in Mid Michigan?? 
Mean Mr Mustard…thanks for that. I appreciate all of the support.
EnolaGay, Oh how I know that and remember it. When youre down sometimes its hard to remember that. Yes I could be much further worse.
What’s the expression? Don’t compare your insides to someone else’s outsides.
Is there a homeless shelter in your area? Is there a church nearby that feeds people?
Give 'em a call and say you have something for them. Take it over and go feed some hungry.
Sometimes sharing with other people – especially people that need it – is a blessing.
Christmas is difficult for people. And you feel bad because, gee whiz, there’s a lot to feel bad about and there’s all these damned cheerful happy people fa-la-la-la-laing all over the place and that just makes it worse.
Even the happiest people have a little bit of angst at Christmas. It’s remembering what was and now what can’t be again … shared memories and times all passed away. And there’s this pressure to be Holly Jolly like everybody else, it’s the best time of the year!
All this passes.
Just hang in there. It will be okay.
Jenny
Not very many words of wisdom, WildBlue, but some support and hugs! I’m glad you posted instead of suffering by yourself. Obviously, people here care about you.
You are banned.

Thanks, mods, that was definitely needed.
Having too much food is a great excuse to meet your neighbors. I’ll also second TubaDiva’s suggestion to donate the extra food to a shelter or food bank.
How do things look to you today? Any better?
Sorry I don’t have any clever words advice for you** WildBlueYonder** but I do hope things get better for you.
(And thank you mods for banning Blues Man)
