You need to read this post about Christmas if you’re feeling “down”

(I apologize if you’re getting this post again. According to WP, just changing a title shouldn’t do that.)

I started this blog for the purpose of helping those who battle depression. Even if you’ve never been diagnosed with clinical depression, just some bad days, you’ll find many of my posts helpful. I stay very current with the newest research which I referred to yesterday.

I am currently updating a lot of my much older posts, adding tags, “tweeking” them, etc.

My purpose in doing so is to provide links to some of my favorite previously published posts about depression. I can’t see re-inventing the wheel and I promised earlier this week that I would address depression for a while.

As I was doing this, I came across this post about Christmas. Even though it centers around Christmas, I think you will find it interesting and helpful if you are facing some depression now. I must forewarn you. It’s a longer post than I usually write.

While I don’t mention depression as such in the first few paragraphs, pay attention to my thought process.

I hope you find it helpful.

God bless and have a good day.
