'tis the season to be bummed. I know it sounds cliche, but it’s true. I get weirded out every year around this time (moreso than usual). But this year, I’m actively fighting it. I’m focusing on what I have instead of what I don’t have. I’m making plans in my mind for doing things that are good for me in the big picture. And I’m taking my little green & white pills. There are some things that you can’t control, but there are so many that you CAN! Focus on what you can control and you’ll feel much better! Good luck!!! ---

**Buttinsky** , I know you’re new here; but I promise, you don’t have to read and reply to every thread from the past 4 months to catch up. Just trying to save you some time (and us from reading your insensitive drivel). ---

Buttinsky, I think the first four letters of your name are apt. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tell-me-life-will-get-better/141207.md?page=1)
