Depressed

[mhsjax]

Just wanted to vent, major depression today and I just realized why, We are usually packing for our big annual 7 day trip to Disney World, but this year DS is in middle school and we just can't take him out anymore. So, to those of you going to Disney, have some fun for me, ok? Thanks

Sorry to hear you are depressed. Hopefully you and your family will get to go to WDW again sometime soon.

Thanks, we actually just got back from a 2 day trip about 2 weeks ago, so it really isn't like we never go, I JUST WANT TO G O NOW!!! Ok, tantrum over. lol

As someone who suffers from real depression / anxiety & takes meds for it, I think yours might be just more of a disappointment or if anything just a very temporary depression that you'll get over soon enough and not major depression as you described it.

Get your mind busy with holiday things & you'll get over it soon enough. If not, consider talking to your doctor if depression is something you actually do suffer from.

I see you live about only 2 hrs drive from Disney. Why not just drive on over there for a day or weekend?

I wish real depression went away that easy. Glad you are feeling better already.

I guess your post rubbed me the wrong way because I feel very, very sad this holiday season. I wish it was only because I was not able to go to Disney World (again after 2 weeks). Instead, my sadness comes from the fact that there will be an empty chair where my mother used to sit during the holidays. I can't bring her back as much as I want to.

I realize that your post was just a rant, but for those of us who really are going through sadness this holiday season (and longer) or for those who suffer from clinical depression, your "depression" seems to minimize those feelings.

I lost my grandparents eight and four years ago, and the holidays never get easier without them.

I think disappointed would better describe how you feel b/c there are people who are actually depressed.

I've suffered from "clinical depression". I've lost my 22 yr. old step-son, my DMIL, I didn't get to spend the holiday with my 18 yr old son as I usually do, and 8 yrs ago Monday I had a house-fire that resulted in the loss of 2 of my dogs

HOWEVER, I was in NO WAY offended by your post I understood exactly what you meant, and you in no way meant to compare your "major depression" to people who have gone through tragedies or clinical depression.

It was your way of stating you're missing Disney and a tradition.

Hope you get to go back soon I'm going with DH in January

Thank you, and I am sorry if I offended anyone, but hey we all suffer from something, I have OCD and when people make fun of it, I laugh along with it.

Well, I do understand about the empty chair, I will have 2 myself, I lost both parents within 2 years of each other. So I do understand, even though you think I may not. And Christmas was my mothers favorite holiday.

 

[mhsjax]

Actually my mistake I lost both of my parents within 11 months, my bad, too much food yesterday clouds the thinking. So maybe some of you shouldn't judge me so harshly, and not be so sensitive.

I don't think anybody is judging you as harshly as they could. I think a lot of us can relate to being sad for not being able to go to WDW, but then you come back and say that you were just there two weeks ago? AND that you live so close you can drive any time? Don't you think you're engaging in just a wee bit of hyperbole?

If people are sensitive, it's because they truly are depressed. Something you might be a bit more understanding of if you were really suffering from it.

Call me sensitive, but yeah, this thread bothers me. I expected to try to help someone with the little I know from actually experiencing depression. Only to find out you can't go back to disney after just being there 2 weeks ago. And you make annual trips?

To call it depression and then major depression? As you later said, a tantrum is much more accurate.

And yes, I should have backed away from this thread.

 

[mhsjax]

Ok I am out of year, It was not meant to be a serious thread. if you look at my other post you will see that I said tantrum over then i did the lol. So yes I do think some of you are being too sensitive. and with that I am out.

 

[dcentity2000]

There are many different strains of clinical depression and to tell the truth, no-one knows everything there is to know on the topic of depression.

You may have MDD, or SAD, or psychotic depression. You may be treated with CES devices, medication, psychotherapy or lightboxes.

The subject is a huge one.

I am deeply terribly sorry that you are not going to Disney World.
I wish I have your depression, your dilemma. I am not quite there yet, but I am starting to feel a litte depress myself. My husband's death anniversary is coming up soon and our wedding anniversary is coming up soon (two days after his death).. then Christmas is coming up.. and with this economy we're in.. how depressing.

Disney World will always be there.. just hang in there, sooner or later you will be back to see Mickey.. My husband won't be there. You know what's really sad.. I love Disney World, I enjoy going there.. and guess what? That's where he died, at Disney. So it's always bitter sweet everything we go there. It's been 3 or 4 years since we've gone back.. just money issue.

Take care.

I am truly sorry for you loss. I can't even imagine how you must feel. I hope I didn't offend you, Depressed is a word that I use to describe how I feel. I do realize that there are a lot worse things to be depressed over, Real things. This was just a thread I started cause I suddenly realized that was what was wrong with my mood. OUr trips were very special cause with hubby's job we spend many nights and weekends without him, and this was our special get away with the kids for an extended amount of time, and at a very special time of the year. Again so sorry for your loss. hugs
