How Do You Deal with Depression Around Christmas?
SleepyHappyDoc asks: "Lots of people around the world seem to experience more sadness and depression around the holiday season, than in other times of the year. There could be any number of reasons why this is, but my question is: how do you deal with it? Have you managed to find any coping strategies or activities that make things feel less bleak?"
4. Beat your dick like you own it.
I take medication during the holidays. Prescribed by myself. Ok I am not a doctor, so I self-medicate with alcohol.

it is because it is supposed to be. just laugh
By following the simple advice I heard on the Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace.
Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started and never finished."
So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning. I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Bristol Cream, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some saltines and a box of chocolates with the rest of my Smirnoff and Xanax.....
You have no idea how freaking good I feel.
If Christmas makes you depressed, try celebrating Hanukkah.
Drugs are not the answer. Psychiatry isn't either! Scientology is the only way to beat depression.
No. Not really.
Religion for nerds. Stuff that really matters
