Shining lights and cheerful music are everywhere during the holiday season bringing thoughts of goodwill and joy to all. At the very least that is how it is intended. Not all individuals, however, feel joy and happiness during the holiday season and these bright lights and happy songs bring sorrow and loneliness instead.
Surrounded By People Yet Feeling Lonely
Seeing the hustle and bustle of the holiday season can make some people focus on what they don’t have in their lives. From loved ones who have passed on to a lack of a romantic relationship, thoughts of what is missing in someone’s life can be amplified by the unrelenting press of cheerful people. One of the worst feelings in the world is to be surrounded by people, especially friends and family, and still feel all alone and lonely.
Holidays Can Trigger Bad Memories
Many people recall the happy times of their childhood during the holidays and it adds to the festivity of the season. If someone didn’t have good memories or their family was abusive, the holidays in and of themselves can trigger not only bad memories but depressive episodes as well. Depression therapy can help you, or someone you love, survive, and even thrive, throughout the holiday season. They may even regain their joy in this festive time.
